The search for Australia’s most nutritious supermarket products is officially set to resume as the 2026 Healthy Food Guide Awards prepares to open for entries on 25 May 2026.

The awards, brought to you by Healthy Food Guide magazine, serve as “the definitive guide to the most nutritious and best value-for-money products on supermarket shelves”. Food manufacturers and brands will have a three-week window to nominate their products before the entry period closes on 15 June 2026.

The Healthy Food Guide Awards are judged by a panel of nutrition experts who analyse the nutritional makeup, taste and value of foods to find the standout brands in each category. This approach ensures that the ‘Winner’ seal remains a trusted guide for health-conscious consumers navigating crowded supermarket aisles.

“The awards aim to make finding healthy supermarket products easy for consumers,” said Jenny de Montalk, Managing Editor of Healthy Food Guide. “It’s an opportunity to strengthen credibility and build trust with consumers who face an overwhelming choice of products at the supermarket and just want what is best for their health”.

Entry into the awards is free. For the 2026 program, food brands can enter their products across 16 categories spanning everything from kitchen staples and convenience foods to dairy, snacks and the newly included kitchen tools and solutions.

Manufacturers are encouraged to prepare their nutritional profiles now to ensure they don’t miss this unique opportunity to have their exceptional products celebrated as a 2026 winner.
