Four thousand consumers in Canada have voted to determine the 27 winners of the 2021 Product of the Year Canada awards. The program, which operates in 40 countries, recognizes manufacturers for quality and innovation.
“For all obvious reasons, shoppers are spending less time in the supermarket than ever, but still crave new and innovative products to light up these difficult times,” says Mike Nolan, Global CEO of Product of the Year Management.
Here are the winning Canadian products for 2021 as determined by a national survey conducted by consumer research firm Kantar:
