        The Fine Print: The NFDA Innovation Award finalists are determined by judges based on the information submitted by the entrants. The judges will conduct no testing of the product or service. The selection of a particular product or service for the Innovation Award does not constitute an endorsement by NFDA or the judges. Selected products and services merely reflect the judging panel’s determination that, if the product or service in fact performs or functions as the submitted supporting documentation and materials claim, such product or service is desired over other submissions. NFDA reserves the right to defer the award if there is not a suitable entrant.

        Material reprinted in article form on nfda.org or other publications reflects the views of the authors only and does not necessarily reflect the views of NFDA. The appearance, reference or advertisement of any product or service shall not be deemed an endorsement of such products or services by NFDA.
