cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD, YCBDpA), (the”Company”), one of the world’s leading and most highly trusted and recognized health & wellness CBD companies, has won a Product of the Year award for 2022. Product of the Year is the largest consumer-voted award for product innovation, determined by 40,000 American shoppers through a national survey conducted by Kantar, a global leader in consumer research. CBD Drink Mixes won the top honor as the most innovative product in the CBD Ingestible category.

In today’s ever-changing consumer landscape, the annual Product of the Year Awards are a go-to reliable resource for those looking to find the very best in new products on the market. Whether online or in-store, the distinctive red seal of approval is globally recognized as a vote of confidence from consumers themselves. Thanks to this annual recognition, shoppers can easily cut through the clutter and trust that these products demonstrate the utmost innovation in their respective categories, whether in function, design, packaging or ingredients.

“Given the continued flux and uncertainty over the past two years, we’re prouder than ever to provide consumers with the vote of 40,000 fellow shoppers as a guide they can trust when making important purchase decisions for themselves and their families. One of the great strengths of Product of the Year is that we champion manufacturers for putting forward products that reflect the latest trends and offer consumers the solutions they’re looking for,” said Mike Nolan, Global CEO of Product of the Year Management.

For over 30 years globally and 14 years in the USA, Product of the Year has served as the stage for brands to showcase exceptional quality and innovation. As an annual benchmark that forecasts the trends in store for the year ahead, it highlights products that reflect the things that everyday consumers value most. This award marks the third year in a row that cbdMD has been recognized within the newly minted CBD products categories. cbdMD has previously been awarded the Product of the Year recognition for its sleep aids, Freeze topicals, CBD gummies, and pet treats.

“We’re beyond excited to have our CBD drink mixes recognized as a 2022 Product of the Year Award winner. This marks three years in a row that we’ve been awarded this honor, and we’re proud of what this represents. We understand that today’s market is incredibly competitive, and this seal of approval helps us stand out as a trusted leader in consumer products. As a globally recognized program for product innovation, the Product of the Year Award serves as a distinctive, influential tool that is key to promoting cbdMD as an industry leader and innovator,” said Matt Coapman, Chief Marketing Officer at cbdMD, Inc.
