Valenzuela City, Philippines – October 2025 – Oh So Healthy! Corporation, maker of delicious Better-For-You (BFY) snacks made from real fruits and vegetables, is proud to announce that Kimchi Baked Crisps has been named a Finalist for the Specialty Food Association’s 2026 sofi Awards, a distinguished honor recognizing the best specialty food products of the year.

The annual sofi Awards have celebrated excellence and innovation in specialty food since 1972. This year’s winners will be announced live in a ceremony at the Specialty Food Association (SFA)’s newest trade show, Winter FancyFaire*, January 11-13, 2026, in San Diego, California.

“Being recognized as a sofi Finalist is an incredible honor for us,” said Almay Gaw See, Founder and CEO of Oh So Healthy! Corporation. “It’s a testament to our passion for making Healthy Made Yummy—creating snacks that are both innovative and irresistibly flavorful, while proudly representing Filipino craftsmanship on a global stage.”

The Kimchi Baked Crisps stood out among more than 1,200 entries, judged by a panel of specialty food buyers in a blind tasting. Products were evaluated based on flavor, appearance, texture, aroma, ingredient quality, and innovation.

Notably, Oh So Healthy! Corporation is the only brand from the Philippines to be named a Finalist in the 2026 sofi™ Awards, standing out among thousands of global entries. This milestone not only underscores the brand’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the Better-For-You category but also marks a proud moment for Filipino representation in the international specialty food scene.

“There are thousands of food and beverage products that are sold on store shelves and yet amidst the multitude of options, these finalists have risen above their peers to receive top scores from our expert judging panel of buyers,” said Bill Lynch, president of the Specialty Food Association. “Congratulations to Oh So Healthy! Corporation and all the 2026 sofi Award Finalists!”

Made with real fermented kimchi, these crisps bring a bold, umami-rich crunch inspired by traditional Korean flavors. Baked—not fried—and free from artificial preservatives or additives, Kimchi Baked Crisps perfectly balance indulgence and wellness. True to OSH’s Better-For-You promise, each bite delivers authentic flavor in a light, guilt-free form that’s proudly Filipino and globally loved.

Attendees at Winter FancyFaire* 2026 can sample Kimchi Baked Crisps at the Exhibit Hall 4018. 

The recognition comes after a busy and productive year for Oh So Healthy! Corporation. The company proudly expanded its international footprint to the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Mongolia, Hawaii, and Singapore —marking a significant step in bringing proudly Filipino, Better-For-You snacks to the global stage and reinforcing its reputation as a world-class innovator in healthy snacking.

“This accolade is a proof of our vision to make Oh So Healthy! the #1 healthy and guilt-free snack brand from the Philippines to the world”, Gaw See said. “In the coming months, you can expect to see more innovative Better-For-You snacks that make wellness truly enjoyable and accessible to every kind of snacker worldwide.”
