Grocery shoppers across the country have spoken, and they’ve chosen the eight best Aldi products money can buy. This new data comes to us via the Product of the Year Awards, an annual consumer survey of product innovation. The Aldi products that took top honors range from frozen finds to alcoholic beverages, and beat out similar items on the market from a variety of different brands.
What Are the Product of the Year Awards?
For those who may be unfamiliar with this coveted seal of approval, the Product of the Year Awards are known as the “largest consumer-voted award for product innovation.” Each year, roughly 40,000 American shoppers vote in a national study conducted by Kantar to crown the winners.
This year, the winning items span 42 distinct categories across food and home. The winners will be adorned with the notable red emblem, which allows “consumers to easily identify the latest and greatest on shelves.”

The Best Aldi Products of 2025
Frozen Entree: Aldi Exclusive Kirkwood Chicken Nuggets
Aldi
These scrumptious nuggets are made with fresh chicken breast and rib meat that’s lightly breaded, making them a hit with kids and adults alike. Serve these already-cooked nuggets warm with a veggie and some rice, as well as your dipping sauce of choice, for a complete meal the whole family will love.
Better-for-You-Snack: ALDI-Exclusive Savoritz Cheese Crisps
Aldi
Who doesn’t love a cheesy cracker? Perfect for snacking, dipping, or adding to a charcuterie board, these crisps are a must-buy. They come in two cheesy flavors—Parmesan and Cheddar—and provide 13 and 10 grams of protein per serving, respectively. No wonder shoppers love ‘em!
Dessert: ALDI-Exclusive Specially Selected Premium Cookie Dough
Aldi
There’s nothing not to like about cookie dough, but what sets the Aldi Exclusive Specially Selected Premium Cookie Dough apart from its competitors is that it comes in elevated flavors, such as sea salt caramel and chocolate chunk, and chocolate chip with almond brittle. Shoppers should also be on the lookout for seasonal varieties, like pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon.
Fruit Snack: ALDI-Exclusive Simply Nature Chocolate Covered Freeze Dried Fruit
Aldi
Another treat you shouldn’t pass up is Aldi’s Simply Nature Chocolate Covered Freeze Dried Fruit. This (relatively) healthy dessert comes in two varieties—banana and strawberry—and each freeze-dried piece of fruit is covered in a thick layer of rich dark chocolate. Plus, since the fruit is freeze-dried, each piece has a very intense fruity flavor. Pro tip: Pop this snack in the freezer for even more deliciousness.
Healthy Beverage: ALDI-Exclusive Summit Popz Prebiotic Sodas
Aldi
According to many Aldi shoppers, the Summit Popz Prebiotic Sodas taste just like similar sodas from a popular name brand, but cost a fraction of the price. These good-for-you sodas come in a variety of flavors, such as cherry lime, raspberry rose, and strawberry lemon.
Meal Ingredient: ALDI-Exclusive Park Street Deli Pickle Chips
Aldi
People are pickle-obsessed these days, and while things like pickle-flavored toothpaste and pickle-flavored chips are fun, sometimes you just want a pickle. And when that pickle-craving hits, 40,000 shoppers suggest you stock up on Aldi’s Park Street Deli Pickle Chips. Perfect for snacking or adding to foods like sandwiches or chicken salad, these pickles are irresistibly crunchy and packed with flavor. Find them in two flavors: classic dill and spicy atomic.
Seafood: ALDI-Exclusive Specially Selected Snow Crab Legs
Aldi
The Specially Selected Snow Crab Legs sold at Aldi are fully cooked and can be found in the frozen aisle. At about $17, Aldi shoppers can buy a two-pound box of these wild-caught snow crab legs and enjoy them from the comfort of home. For an easy yet elevated dinner, serve these snow crab legs with herbed butter and fresh lemon wedges.
Wine: ALDI-Exclusive Specially Selected Sparkling Brut Rose
Aldi
This premium wine is imported from France and boasts a delicate pale pink color. It has a lingering fruity finish and candy notes, meaning it pairs well with dishes like creamy risotto or burrata. Pop open a bottle and try it for yourself after your next Aldi trip!
