CocoPastrami has been selected in the INNOVATIVE products section of the SIAL INNOVATION AWARDS 2022 competition at the largest international food industry trade fair, SIAL PARIS, with over 7,000 exhibitors and 400,000 products on display
CocoPastrami, the ready-to-cook chicken specialities, part of the Cocorico Original range, have been selected in the INNOVATIVE products section of the SIAL INNOVATION AWARDS 2022 competition at the largest international food industry trade fair, SIAL PARIS, with over 7,000 exhibitors and 400,000 products on display.
With a concept that focuses on consumers’ need to be as practical as possible in the kitchen without sacrificing healthy meals, great taste and a packaging design that easily stands out, the CocoPastrami range has been recognised as one of the most remarkable innovations in the food industry.
Under the title “Decoding tomorrow’s menu”, the jury – made up of food experts, journalists and SIAL representatives – had to choose from a total of 1800 products entered in the competition, from which they selected 462 innovations. The selection of the CocoPastrami range as an INNOVATIVE product is therefore not only a testament to the quality of our products, but also places us among the top voices in the world.
“SIAL Innovations is a highly anticipated event as it provides a unique showcase through which we can discover both current global food trends and preview the innovations we are sure to see on supermarket shelves and on consumers’ plates. This year’s awards are all the more important as they showcase innovations developed by food industry stakeholders to meet new market demands. We therefore want, more than ever, to put the spotlight on such initiatives and encourage all industry players to continue to embrace change and transition to this healthy and responsible industrial model,” said Nicolas Trentesaux, CEO SIAL PARIS.
During the fair, from 15 to 19 October 2022, the winning products have been displayed in a dedicated area of the SIAL Paris exhibition, and this gallery of food innovations will then travel the globe to appear at other major fairs in Canada, China, USA, India, Jakarta and the Middle East.
“From the moment we developed the Cocorico Original range, we set out to innovate, so as to bring the best products to consumers’ plates. The new range follows consumer trends, the need for leisure, without compromising on quality and meets the consumer with innovative, ready-to-eat products of the highest standards. Innovation for us has meant major investments in top technology and a team of specialists, eager to make a difference. We are delighted when food industry experts recognise and reward us for all these efforts. We are very proud of our ready-to-eat innovations: CocoPastrami, CocoBaked and Cocorici”, said Bogdan Stanca, President of Directorate AAylex ONE.
