VISITING GERMANY: BERLIN – Grill Mix from Switzerland wins FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award 2014

The FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award 2014 (FLIA) goes to the " BBQ Grill Mix " from the Eisberg company based in Switzerland. This new convenience product is a quick and easy solution for barbecue lovers. The "ready to grill" vegetable mixes are sold in a recyclable aluminium container that is suitable for the grill or oven.

Each container is vacuum-packed in a special foil to keep the product fresh longer and for optimal presentation on the supermarket shelf. The foil can be easily removed from the container and leaves no residue on the product.

"The FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award is a great honour for our company. It encourages us to continue along the same path," said Lorenzo Pileri, Eisberg General Manager, at the award ceremony.

The second place contender selected by FRUIT LOGISTICA trade visitors was the " Oriental Mixed Living Salad " from Home Harvest Salad based in the UK. This product offers a unique combination of coriander, pak choi, mustard and tatsoi.

Third place honours went to " Vegetable Crumbs " from the Italian company Aureli . This gluten-free vegetable breading product is made without preservatives and is available in several varieties: carrot, purple carrot, beetroot, celery and spinach.

FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award (FLIA)

The FLIA has evolved to become the most coveted award in the fresh produce sector. Attracting great interest in the business and media worlds, the award is presented for outstanding innovations in the fruit and vegetable sector. It honours products and services that set new trends in the marketplace. A panel of experts selected ten outstanding innovations introduced over the past year. These ten candidates were prominently displayed in a special exhibit at FRUIT LOGISTICA. Trade visitors had two days in which to select their favourites.
