# 11:05 ETNational Restaurant Association Show Honors 28 Products with 2026 FABI Awards

_Celebrating 15 years, FABI Awards honor standout food and beverage products addressing operator needs and evolving consumer tastes_

, /PRNewswire/ -- The **National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show®** has named 28 recipients of its 2026 Food and Beverage (FABI) Awards, including 10 earning the FABI Favorites distinction, the program's highest honor. This year's selections span bold flavor profiles, allergen-free alternatives, organic ingredients, and versatile formats designed to simplify preparation and strengthen menus. All award-winning products will be on display at the Show, May 16–19 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

"The FABI Awards have spent 15 years putting the spotlight on suppliers who are doing the hard work of developing products that genuinely move menus forward," said Tom Cindric, president of exhibitions for Informa Connect Foodservice Group. "This year's recipients bring real flavor credentials and operational practicality. That combination is exactly what operators need when they're looking to add something new and make it work in their kitchens."

The FABI Awards acknowledge food and beverage products that help restaurant operators refresh menus, meet shifting consumer demand, and stay competitive. An independent panel of judges representing major industry brands including Wendy's, Aramark, and California Pizza Kitchen evaluates submissions on taste, menu relevance, operational practicality, and profitability potential.

"The FABI Awards are a unique opportunity for \[food and beverage\] manufacturers of all sizes to show their innovative ideas and have a panel of judges \[evaluate\] what opportunities they present to the foodservice industry," said Farley Kaiser, Senior Director of Culinary Innovation, McLane Company. "There's a flavor component, absolutely, but we also want to see the value operationally… what creates opportunities for back-of-the-house efficiencies and cost savings."

Among the 2026 recipients, 10 products earned the FABI Favorites designation, introduced in 2023 to recognize the entries judges identified as having the broadest impact on restaurant menus and the industry. These standout selections demonstrate exceptional flavor, versatility, and operational efficiency, earning the program's highest distinction. They will be featured in dedicated tastings and a culinary demonstration at the Show.
