The company’s Wonderful Halos and Pom pomegranate arils named winners of Good Housekeeping’s Best Snack Awards
The Wonderful Company has scooped double honours at Good Housekeeping’s 2026 Best Snack Awards in the US.
For the second consecutive year, the Los Angeles-based company’s Wonderful Halos mandarins were named winners in the produce category, while its Pom Wonderful ready-to-eat pomegranate arils won in the produce category for the fourth year in a row.
Good Housekeeping’s annual Best Snack Awards spotlight the most innovative snacks in the food industry that meet top-notch nutritional standards, including limits on calories, sugar, and sodium per serving.
To identify the standout products, the magazine’s team of registered dietitians and culinary experts carefully evaluated hundreds of snacks, reviewing ingredient lists, nutrition facts, packaging claims, and flavour profiles. Consumer testers also contributed valuable feedback, assessing taste and providing real-world insights to help determine the winners.
According to The Wonderful Company, “Wonderful Halos is an easy-win snack that is sweet, seedless and easy-to-peel. In fact, Halos is the most productive mandarin brand on-shelf, with the highest dollar velocity in the category and twice the velocity of private label mandarins”.
Pom pomegranate arils, meanwhile, saw a 39 per cent increase in dollar sales this season, driving double digit arils category growth.
