Parent company Wisdom Natural Brands also honored as a Top Wellness Company
The choice is clear: The award-winning Stevia is SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener. SweetLeaf has received two top honors in the 5th Annual Selling Wellness Trailblazer Awards, sponsored by the industry recognized trade publication Grocery Headquarters. This prestigious recognition of “Trailblazer” was awarded to SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia Sweet Drops. Wisdom Natural Brands, the parent company of SweetLeaf, was also recognized as a “Top Wellness Company of the Year.”
“We are very honored to be recognized and selected as a pioneer in the wellness category. As consumers look for healthier food and beverage choices, we’re humbled and excited to provide that choice, both for grocery stores and for consumers,” said Carol May, President of Wisdom Natural Brands.
“We entered this business because we believed stevia’s benefits and delicious taste should be easily accessible to all,” May said. “The Sweet Drops product line is a big step in that direction and we look forward to blazing more trails with new flavors and products in 2014.”
January 2014 will mark the grocery debut of Sweet Drops’ newest trailblazer product, Sweet Drops water enhancers. Made from organic stevia and free from artificial ingredients, Sweet Drops water enhancers help consumers accomplish health and wellness goals by adding delicious flavor to their eight daily glasses of water. The water enhancers are available in Strawberry Kiwi, Peach Mango, Raspberry Lemonade and Lemon Lime flavors.
Since 2006, the Trailblazer awards have recognized innovation within the natural and wellness categories, saluting companies that have had the most impact on the industry. Winners are chosen according to new product innovation and uniqueness, product integrity and transparency, marketing initiatives, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability.
Awardees will be featured on the magazine’s website and in a special editorial section of Grocery Headquarters’ January 2014 print issue.
