Zinda Foods Category Finalist in Future Food Awards 2019

September 11, 2019

We are delighted to announce that Zinda Foods are a category finalist in the Future Food Awards 2019.  The Future Food Awards celebrate, support and offer invaluable opportunities to trailblazing food companies and highlight the ‘best of the best’ in British food and drink. A team of dedicated food lovers and innovation-seekers sifted through hundreds of entries to land on just 45 businesses that truly offer a taste of what’s to come.

We were up against nearly 400 entries and our founder Anishya Kumar was pleased to make the final six in the highly competitive food innovation category! 

The 2019 finalists have been selected from hundreds of entries across nine different categories, including Farm to Fork, Young Producer, Drink Innovation, Mission Driven and Food Tech Innovation. The Future Food Awards, which are in their first year, are the brainchild of Holly Shackleton, editor of Speciality Food Magazine – the biggest trade magazine in the fine food sector – and Sue Nelson, founder of The FoodTalk Show – a dedicated podcast enjoyed around the world. 

Nelson said: “This year’s finalists provide an insight into the incredibly talented and diverse companies that are helping to power forward their organisations in this dynamic sector of UK industry. These Awards give food and drink businesses ranging from small-scale producers to technology-driven innovators a chance to shine.”

Here is what the judges said about our AirWraps – “The judges were bowled over by these stunning tortilla wraps that taste like no other on the market. Beautifully made and with a great taste and texture the team have invested substantial time and money getting the process right to produce these wonderful wraps for supermarkets and the restaurant sector“.

The 2019 Future Food Awards finals will take place at the Bread & Jam Festival, on Thursday 3rd October 2019, at the iconic 116 Pall Mall, London, the home of the Institute of Directors.

A panel of judges boasting legendary founders and industry experts will whittle the entries down to unveil a winner from each category. All category winners will pitch to judges at the Bread & Jam Festival to be named Supreme Champion. Bread & Jam, which runs from October 3rd to 4th, is an annual two-day conference and bootcamp for emerging and scaling food and drink brands, bringing together food and drink founders and innovators, investors, retailers, media and industry leaders.
