CINCINNATI, Feb. 5, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR), and PepsiCo Inc (NYSE:
PEP) today announced their team of chefs took home a Gold Mitt
Award for Chef's Choice in the FMI (Food Marketing Institute)
Foundation's Stir it Up! culinary event held during the FMI
Midwinter Executive Conference. Celebrating ten years of National
Family Meals Month, and to support food security within our
communities, retailers and suppliers were tasked with embracing the
theme, "What's for Dinner? Dishing up New Family Flavors."
"FMI is a crucial convener of the food industry, which works
together to address critical topics like food affordability, safety
and accessibility for America's shoppers," said Keith Dailey, Kroger's group vice president of
corporate affairs and member of the FMI Foundation board of
trustees. "America's grocery industry enriches lives with
nutritious, safe and affordable food and brings joyful and
meaningful memories to family mealtimes better than anyone."
The FMI Foundation, dedicated to delivering research and
education to address food safety, health and nutrition concerns,
began the Stir it Up! competition nine years ago, bringing
retailers and suppliers together to raise millions in support of
its vital mission.
"At PepsiCo we recognize the importance of partnerships and the
role they play in improving access to nutrition. We are proud to
team up with the FMI Foundation and Kroger to help tackle the
issues our local communities are facing and provide families with
accessible recipes to enjoy during Family Meal Month," said
Kent Montgomery, Senior Vice
President Industry Relations, PepsiCo North America.
