The New Zealand Dairy Free Awards
Celebrating excellence in the dairy-free plant-based alternatives.
The 2025 Dairy Free Awards.
The future of milk products is plant-based. We would like to see the government helping farmers to diversify and transition to growing plants over the coming decade. It’s time for New Zealand to once again become global leaders. We can do this, we can all work towards a horticultural-based economy!
We will meet our Paris Agreement goals if we invest in our land wisely, grow the right crops in the right environment and increase our organic inputs.
Welcome to our fifth People’s Choice Awards ~ here to celebrate FebNoDairy are our Dairy Free Awards!
We invite you to make your selections amongst a host of exciting and delicious plant-based dairy alternatives across 8 different categories.
We encourage you to give an answer to each of the categories, just to get your feedback on which are THE BEST dairy free ice creams, butters, yoghurts, creams, desserts, spreads and milks. This is your chance to let your favourite companies know which are your preferred products!
We are delighted that every year there are more products on the market and new companies making seriously innovative delights.
