Once Again Named a 2026 NEXTY Award Finalist
Nunda, NY – Once Again is proud to announce that its Chocolate & Peanut Butter Graham Sandwiches have been named a finalist in the Sweet Snacks & Desserts category for the 2026 NEXTY Awards, part of Natural Products Expo West. The product was selected from nearly 1,000 submissions across all categories, earning a spot among just 164 finalists. Representing the cutting edge of the natural products industry and the bold brands shaping its future, the winners will be announced live at an awards ceremony on March 5th.
Once Again's Chocolate & Peanut Butter Graham Sandwiches are redefining what a sweet treat can be – nutrient-dense, irresistibly craveable, and rooted in integrity. Handcrafted in small batches by the brand's 100% employee-owners, rich dark chocolate and ethically sourced creamy peanut butter are layered between artisanal graham crackers, delivering indulgent flavor alongside 5g of plant protein and fiber per serving. Certified both organic and gluten free, the clean-ingredient snack is part of Once Again's long-standing Honest in Trade sustainability program, which emphasizes fair treatment across the supply chain, rigorous food safety and quality standards, and environmental stewardship. Partnerships with SedEx and HowGood provide full transparency into supplier relationships and product-level carbon impact, reinforcing the brand's commitment to traceability at every step.
"Being named a NEXTY finalist is an incredible honor and a meaningful validation of the care and inspiration that goes into everything we make," said Susan DiPietro, Once Again's CEO. "This recognition reinforces our passion for crafting better-for-you innovations that meet consumers' expectations for quality, transparency, and taste."
Joining a lineup that includes peanut butter and sunflower butter flavors, Once Again's bakery-made Chocolate & Peanut Butter Graham Sandwiches come individually wrapped and are sold in 5-count and 12-count boxes at natural food stores across the country.
