The Whole Grains Council will run its fifth annual Whole Grains Challenge in October of 2011. This special annual awards program was developed to encourage all dining and foodservice outlets to offer at least one whole grain option every day during the month of October.
In addition to great free publicity and a listing on our Eating Away From Home page, winners in each category will receive a variety of whole grain foods to serve their customers, donated by the generous Members of the WGC. With the cost of ingredients and foods rising daily, who wouldn't want cases and cases of free, delicious whole grain products!?
Great Whole Grain Prizes for 2011 Winners
Prizes vary category by category, as detailed below, but all category winners will receive a wonderful variety of whole grain prizes. Thanks to all our generous WGC Members for pledging their amazing whole grain products!
