Clorox, Kettle Foods receive GMA awards

Clorox and Kettle Foods got awards for innovation and creativity Tuesday from the Grocery Manufacturers Association and its Associate Member Council.

The awards were given as part of the association’s sixth annual CPG Awards.

Starting this year, GMA is awarding manufacturers in two divisions. Division A covers companies with sales less than $1 billion, while Division B covers companies with sales of $1 billion or more.

Past winners include the Campbell Soup Co. in 2005 and Kraft Foods in 2004. Last year’s recipient was Unilever, which achieved “center store excellence” with retail partner Ahold Stop & Shop.
