Cast your vote for this year’s Joe Nucci Award.

From collard greens dip to RubyRed Kiwifruit, the ninth annual Produce Business Innovation Award entries brought their best to the table and store shelves.

With a focus on Product, Packaging and Process, Produce Business presents the 10 top-scoring entrants and leaves it up to the industry to decide which item merits the annual Joe Nucci Award for Product Innovation.

The judging, which took place in the Boca Raton, FL, offices of Produce Business, was conducted by editors and staff who are well-versed in the fresh produce industry. Technological examinations were conducted via research in published journals and in corroborating data sent to us.

This annual award will be presented at the Thought Leaders Keynote Breakfast during the annual New York Produce Show and Conference, Dec. 3, at the Javits Center in midtown Manhattan. Only Produce Business readers will evaluate the top-scoring products selected from numerous entries. Please read the descriptions and cast your vote to choose this year’s Joe Nucci Award.
