Dairy Foods is accepting nominations for the 14th annual Exporter of the Year award, given in partnership with the U.S. Dairy Export Council.

All companies must submit their entry forms to the Wisconsin Dairy Products Association by July 19.

Award winners represent U.S. dairy’s commitment to sustainability.

Each year, Dairy Foods and the Elmhurst, Ill.-based American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI) honor one deserving ADPI member company with the Breakthrough Award for Dairy Ingredient Innovation. The award celebrates achievements and innovations in one or more of four categories.

Dairy Foods magazine presented its 2018 Processor of the Year award to Land O'Lakes Inc. during the Jan. 22 lunch session at the 2019 Dairy Forum in Orlando, Fla. Chris Roberts, president of Land O'Lakes' Dairy Foods unit and executive vice president, accepted the award on behalf of the Arden Hills, Minn.-based cooperative.

The annual award recognizes individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the processed dairy products industry.

IDFA presented them with its 2019 Food Safety Leadership Award during Dairy Forum.

The deadline for nominations is March 29.

Halo Top and Siggi’s products are included among the best in innovation.
