PLMA’s 2024 Salute to Excellence Winners: Beauty, Personal Care, Wellness & Home Care

This year's award-winning new private label products.

Three winners from PLMA's 2024 Salute to Excellence Awards.

PLMA unveiled its 2024 Salute to Excellence Awards in Chicago this past weekend. The awards are presented during the Association’s annual tradeshow.

PLMA’s program recognizes outstanding food and nonfood products introduced within the last year by supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, online retailers, wholesalers and more. This year, more than 760 products were submitted by 52 North American retailers—the highest number of submissions received by PLMA.  Submissions were sampled and evaluated by a panel of professional and consumer judges on several criteria including product concept, packaging and value for money.
