The submitted press release describes a consumer packaged goods award — specifically, Mooney Farms' Bella Sun Luci salad vinaigrette line being named 2026 Salad Dressing Product of the Year by the Mindful Awards program. That subject matter falls entirely outside the editorial scope of FSENews.com.

FSENews covers commercial kitchen capital goods purchased and specified by foodservice operators, dealers, manufacturer reps, and equipment consultants. Relevant categories include cooking equipment, refrigeration, warewashing, ventilation, ice and beverage, prep and storage, ware-handling, and related energy and sustainability topics.

If you are a manufacturer or publicist with a press release covering commercial foodservice equipment — such as a new combi oven, blast chiller, rack conveyor dishmachine, undercounter refrigeration unit, or ventilation system — please resubmit and we will evaluate it for coverage. For food and beverage product news, consider submitting to our sister publication Food & Beverage Magazine, which covers CPG, ingredients, and food product launches.
