So what are the Products of the Year 2017?

According to the 14000 people recently surveyed by Nielsen, Aldi has done very well in the Product of the Year for 2017.

Product of the Year Director, Sarah Connelly, said the major retailers were stepping up and branching into even more categories than they have done in the past.

“Aldi have done a great job promoting their winning products over the last few years. When people see that they have a wide range of award winning products it gives them the confidence to go in-store to try them out. As a result these first-time shoppers often become regulars,” Connelly said.
