Best Children's Food Brand | Junior Design Awards 2018
Junior announces the winner of their coveted Best Children's Food Brand for 2018
WINNER: GOLD FOR BEST CHILDREN'S FOOD BRAND
WHO: FOR AISHA TODDLER TRAY MEALS
WHAT: High quality toddler meals with a wide range of natural, exotic ingredients to encourage a love of diverse flavours. Toddler tray meals have a chunkier texture to help with toddler weaning. Suitable for ages 1-3.
WHY: Bland, high sugar dairy based baby meals are all too easy to find on the supermarket shelves but For Aisha are pioneers in creating healthy baby foods that encourage a more adventurous palette from the get go. Our judges loved the sound of the new flavours on offer including Cambodian Fish and coconut curry and the Chermoula Chicken Mexican stew. Mini influencer Farouk James was already familiar with the range and told Junior, "This the the best baby food, my little nephew loves the range!"
WHERE: available at Sainsbury's, Asda, Ocado, For Aisha

WHO: NOM NOMS WORLD FOOD
WHAT: Exciting, nutritionally balanced meals for kids inspired by world flavours with zero refined sugar, additives or preservatives. Suitable for ages 3+
WHY: The Little Nom Noms strapline "For tastebuds who love to travel." made a big impact on our judges who were excited about the prospect of being able to feed slightly older kids nutritious, diverse and interesting foods in such a convenient way. The interactive packaging featuring fun facts and puzzles was commented on several times and the company's charity initiative offering one hot meal to a hungry school child in India for every Nom-Noms meal bought in the UK was hugely applauded. Mini-influencer Nancy Aleya and her mum Fern Weston-Bennett founder of Fancy Nancy summed up the response: "A fun looking convenient product! A great way of getting little ones to try new healthy foods and flavours."
WHERE: Nom Noms
WINNER: BRONZE FOR BEST CHILDREN'S FOOD BRAND
WHO: KIDDYUM MEALS
WHAT: Nutritious Frozen Meals for kids made from all natural ingredients with no added sugar, low salt and no preservatives in recyclable packaging. For ages 1-4
WHY: Our judges loved the fact that these mini meals could be kept in the freezer for convenience and that so much thought had been put into the sourcing of the ingredients - only British meat and diary and sustainable fish make it into these meals - as well as the packaging, which is easily recyclable. The broad range of meals ranging from the classic to the more adventurous meant there was something to please every palette. Junior Editor Bonita Turner said, "This range has something for everyone and as someone who hates throwing meals away that have passed their sell by date, having a frozen option is fantastic."
WINNER: BRONZE FOR BEST CHILDREN'S FOOD BRAND
WHO: ANNABEL KARMEL'S CHILLED TODDLER MEALS
WHAT: Nutritionally balanced, tasty meals for when there just isn't time to cook from scratch from the award-winning kids cookery author. For ages 1-4
WHY: Low in salt, packed full of vegetables wherever possible (even secret ones!) and free of artificial additives or preservatives, this range of 12 meals impressed judges with sheer variety. Our judges also loved the fact that the meals could be ready in minutes avoiding any 'hangry' issues and mini-influencer Farouk James' mum Bonnie liked the ease and practicality of the meals explaining, "They're straight forward and easy to carry and heat."
