Out of nearly 600 entries, eight local food artisans have been named finalists in the fourth annual H-E-B Primo Picks Quest for Texas Best search for new and innovative products. The Quest for Texas Best is a signature program for H-E-B’s Primo Picks brand, which labels best-in-store products, all unique, delicious, and new. This year’s contest attracted applicants from more than 200 cities and towns across the Lone Star State. Applicants competed in two qualifying rounds until 25 finalists were named by H-E-B Business Development Managers in competition based on taste and flavor, customer appeal, value, uniqueness, market potential, and differentiation from products already available at most H-E-B stores. From the 25 finalists, judges will select 4 winners who will win prize money and have their product placed on H-E-B store shelves and be named an H-E-B Primo Picks product.
