Cream Without a Country – NZ Food Awards 2025
NZ Food Awards 2025 - The Supreme Award win for Fonterra’s Easy Bakery Cream showcases NZ’s world-class dairy R&D — but also exposes the system’s export bias. A product Kiwis can’t buy wins top honours while non-animal innovators like Otis, Elta Ego, and Giesen redefine the meaning of “creaminess” at home. Add the sale of Anchor to Lactalis, and the scene looks more Paris than Palmerston North.

Human Factor
Consumers are voting with their taste buds, not passports. The next wave of “NZ-made” pride will belong to products that people can actually find on their shelves — oat-based, alcohol-free, and function-forward. Science is still the hero, but the cow is losing top billing.
