Munch Food Awards 2018 - Winner Announcement

The results are in and we are exited to announce this year's winners (and losers).
The purpose of the Munch Food Awards is to raise awareness of the good and the bad of the kid’s food industry. They are a way for us all to help in the fight against obesity in New Zealand in some way.
The “people” have spoken.
Our judges Nicola Galloway and Claire Turnbull then assessed the winner of each category to help us decide on the overall or 'Supreme' Winner.
The winner for the 'Best Kids Menu' was assessed by Asher Regan from the Heart Foundation gaining extra points for having a menu that meets the Heart Foundation Kids' Choice criteria.

'Good companies with good ethics and health values deserve recognition.'

'I want healthy kids!! Far too much junk advertised for kids.'
