The 2008 sofi Gold Winners were announced June 30 at the 54th Summer Fancy Food Show in New York. This year’s contest was the most competitive yet, with a record 2,191 entries. The field was narrowed to 150 Silver Finalists over four days of judging this spring by an independent panel of specialty food experts. Gold winners were selected by more than 250 retailers and foodservice buyers attending the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York earlier this summer. Winners were presented with their sofi trophy, a gold statue of a chef, at the show by noted chef Jacques Pepin in a special ceremony.
“The winners of this year’s sofi awards are evidence that our members continue to create distinctive products that delight consumers,” said Ann Daw, president of the NASFT. “That is part of why our industry remains resilient in this challenging economy,” she added.
