Award-winning Global Food Industries (GFI), a world-class value-added frozen food manufacturing company and part of Albatha Holding \u2013 one of the largest conglomerates in the UAE – has made history anew on the global stage after it became the first and only company across the Middle East to become a finalist at the recently concluded World Food Innovation Awards (WFIA) 2018, the latest edition of the international food industry\u2019s leading and most established awards scheme, in the UK. In a fierce contest that received a total of 220 entries from more than 29 countries, GFI edged out its major global contenders in the \u2018Best Children\u2019s Product\u2019 category to land in the top five adjudged as excellent by the judges.<\/p>\n
Being named as one of the finalists in the international food setting is proof that GFI stands firmly behind the Healthy Farm brand promise – ‘Nothing to hide, the choice is yours’ \u2013 which is meant to empower consumers into making the right choice. \u2018Nothing to hide, the choice is yours\u2019 entails communicating the authentic benefits of the delicious Healthy Farm products in the most transparent and honest way.<\/p>\n
The company’s ‘Chicken Quinoa & Kale Burgers’ and \u2018Super Chicken Quinoa & Kale Nuggets\u2019 are all 100 per cent natural–being presented with 30 per cent more protein, 90 per cent more fibre, 40 per cent less sodium, 40 per cent less carbohydrates and 60 per cent less calories. The highly innovative products also offer eight times less fat, 12 times less saturated fat and six times more calcium as compared to the other chicken burger patties and nuggets available in the market today.<\/p>\n
Jacek Plewa, General Manager, GFI, said: \u201cWe are proud to come to the international stage and be recognized for our efforts to develop healthier food choices for kids around the world. In the midst of growing unhealthy lifestyles choices in our communities, GFI has launched the Healthy Farm products to help address the numerous health challenges facing our society today. We are privileged that the international community has duly recognized our efforts as evidenced by this great achievement. We were the only UAE-based company to reach that esteemed level. Rest assured that this will continue to inspire us to further innovate and positively impact the lives of many people.\u201d<\/p>\n
The annual WFIA showcases some of the most ambitious new products and developments of the year from a wide range of both small and large international companies. Staged at Hotelympia in London, WFIA\u2019s fourth edition celebrated innovation and excellence across every product category, seeking out the best in packaging, marketing, technology, and sustainability.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time that GFI has been recognized in the industry. The company received three major awards in February of this year alone, namely the \u2018Best Halal Food\u2019 and the \u2018Best Meat or Poultry Innovation\u2019 awards at \u2018Gulfood Dubai 2018\u2019 as well as the \u2018UAE Innovation Award\u2019 organized by Dubai Quality Group. GFI was the only food company to win the prestigious \u2018UAE Innovation Award\u2019 despite strong competition from well-known private organizations from all verticals, including education, energy, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate, retail, sports, technology, tourism and hospitality, transport, and non-profit.<\/p>\n
