World Food Innovation Awards 2025
PopCornaa Wins Best Snack of 2025 at the World Food Innovation Awards
PopCornaa, the bold gourmet popcorn brand redefining snacking, has officially made its mark on the global stage—winning Best Snack of 2025 at the prestigious World Food Innovation Awards, held at Excel London in March 2025.
The award coincided with PopCornaa’s official UK launch, where the brand showcased its award-winning range of sweet and savoury popcorn fusions during the International Food & Drink Exhibition (IFE). The World Food Innovation Awards, judged by a panel of global industry experts, celebrate outstanding innovation and excellence across the food and beverage industry. PopCornaa’s recognition as Best Snack of the Year puts the brand at the forefront of next-generation snacking.
Founded by Emily Tse, PopCornaa brings a fearless approach to flavour — merging global culinary inspiration with plant-based ingredients and ethical sourcing. From its viral 3-star Great Taste winner Seaweed, Wasabi & Soy to crowd favourites like Dairy Caramel and Vegan Chocolate Orange, the range delivers flavour-first popcorn that’s anything but ordinary.
“Winning Best Snack of 2025 is a dream moment for us. PopCornaa started as a passion hobby in my kitchen during the pandemic, and to now be recognised on an international stage at our UK debut is surreal.” said Emily Tse.
The brand’s UK launch generated major buzz, with hundreds of buyers, distributors, and press tasting through PopCornaa’s eclectic range. The award win further cements PopCornaa’s status as one to watch in the better-for-you snack space — with a product that speaks to adventurous palates, conscious consumers, and retail shelves alike.
With this momentum, PopCornaa is now scaling up production and expanding distribution across the UK and key export markets.
Flavour should never be boring — and PopCornaa is here to prove it!
