Taste Test: Our Guide to the Best Products at the Supermarket
2012 Taste Test Awards: Grocery Category Winners
These store-bought foods are the tastiest picks in America's grocery stores. We tested products in 13 different categories so you can keep your kitchen stocked with yummy staples. By: Cindy Hatcher
How Taste Testing Works
When we pick foods in the grocery category, we're looking for products available in most major markets nationwide. We scour
nutrition labels for artificial trans fats, too much salt, or too much saturated fat.
After booting out foods that didn't cut the mustard, we served 200 finalists to a tasting panel, who sampled everything blind—brands
were not revealed. There are tens of thousands of products on shelves: We rotate through different categories each year.
