The Editors' award for NutraChampion goes to Dr Nora Khaldi from Nuritas.
All categories have been judged by independent industry experts. Being named a finalist or a winner means convincing some of the most respected and knowledgeable people in the industry.
Ewa Hudson, director of insights at lumina Intelligence, says: "There is no stop to what innovation can do and the NutraIngredients Awards are honoured to see so many fascinating entries this year. Judges felt that not a single consumer type was left behind, whether young women experiencing premenstrual pains, new mothers struck with mastitis, or post covid sufferers fighting cognitive discomforts.
"This year also rewarded those undertaking novel sustainability-driven initiatives in Europe that will deliver impact towards meeting SDGs.
"Congratulations to those who have made it to the shortlist as a NutraIngredients 2023 Awards finalist, it really is an amazing achievement to have made it this far."
