USA: Aldi Releases Shoppers' Favorite Private Label Branded Products of 2020

Updated: Apr 13, 2021

Discount Retail Chain Aldi is sharing the results of its second annual Fan Favorites survey, and perhaps unsurprisingly, people love pizza. The retailer’s Mama Cozzi’s Take & Bake Deli Pizza was the overall favorite product, earning 55,000 votes from the 177,000 surveyed shoppers and winning in the easy meal category.

"The incredible response to our second Fan Favorites survey reinforces how much our customers love Aldi-exclusive items," said Joan Kavanaugh, vice president of national buying for Aldi. “Aldi is known for its commitment to high-quality groceries at unbeatable prices, but it's our loyal fans who truly define us. They are passionate about their most-loved products and share that excitement within their communities and with us.”

Also high on shoppers’ radars was the Happy Farms String Cheese, which won 58,000 votes and was tops in the kids category. Many of the winners repeated their gold-medal status, including Earth Grown Veggie Burgers, Little Journey Baby Wipes, Winking Owl Wine and Specially Selected Brioche Buns. This year’s survey added such new categories as fall and winter seasonal items and “better than the brand.”

"This survey creates another opportunity to hear directly what our consumers want and need most," Kavanaugh continued. "As a result, we've added extra refrigerated space in stores and expanded our product offerings to include a broader selection of meats and seafood, fresh produce and better-for-you options. It is exciting to see several newer items ranked the highest among Fan Favorites.”
