The Chicago-based National Restaurant Association is accepting applications for the 2014 FABI Awards. The FABI Awards program recognizes and celebrates food and beverage manufacturers that advance the industry through innovation in ingredients, preparation, processing and/or packaging. An independent panel of expert judges will select the award recipients, which will be showcased at NRA Show 2014 on May 17-20 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
“Successful operators continually seek and adopt new products that reflect consumer trends, are highly marketable and can add incremental value and benefits to their operations,” says Mary Pat Heftman, NRA’s executive vice president, convention & strategic alliances. “The FABI Awards were created to identify emerging products that operators can use to enhance their business.”
