Victory is sweet—even without sugar—as Niman Ranch just proved with its Applewood Smoked Uncured No Sugar Bacon awarded Gold in the Meat, Poultry and Seafood category of the Specialty Food Association’s 2021 sofi Awards. This award builds on Niman Ranch’s legacy of producing the finest tasting meat sourced from Certified Humane independent family farms, raising livestock sustainably with no antibiotics or hormones—ever.
To win the highly competitive sofi Award, Niman Ranch’s No Sugar Bacon was blind taste tested against competitors in the category by a group of expert judges made up of seasoned food professionals including chefs, culinary instructors, recipe developers and specialty food buyers. Judges scored each submission on multiple qualities including flavor, appearance, texture, aroma and creativity. With its Gold award recognition, Niman Ranch outperformed all other competitors included in the category.
