Albert Heijn wins 11 awards at ‘Best Product of the Year’ 2025-2026
Hooray for Albert Heijn. The supermarket chain has once again proven that its own-brand products are among the very best. At the annual ‘Best Product of the Year’ awards, the supermarket chain took home no fewer than 11 prizes. This recognition, based on thousands of consumer votes, is a wonderful appreciation of the innovation, taste and quality of the products Albert Heijn offers under its own brand.
SPRANK apple wins for the fourth time
A particular highlight of these awards is the SPRANK apple, which won a prize for the fourth year in a row. The SPRANK apple, grown exclusively for Albert Heijn, is a juicy, full-sweet apple with a slight tartness and a delicious bite. This makes the SPRANK apple the perfect healthy snack, which is not only loved by consumers but also proves to be award-winning. We completely understand—we previously wrote enthusiastically about this incredibly delicious apple.
Even more awards for Albert Heijn
The ‘Best Products of the Year’ awards come at a time when Albert Heijn has also won other prizes, such as the AH Power all-in-1 dishwasher tablets, which were tested as the best by De Telegraaf, and the AH Chicken Gyoza, which was named Own-Brand Product Launch of the Year at the VriesVers Awards. And that’s not all: the AH Vegetable Fries were voted Innovation of the Year.
