As we move into 2025, the grocery market is bustling with new products that are vying for a spot in your shopping cart. To help you navigate through the sea of options, the Allrecipes team, consisting of 64 editors and Allstars, embarked on a culinary journey to taste-test over 1,000 new grocery items released in 2024. After rigorous testing and deliberation, we have compiled a list of 54 winning products that stood out from the rest.
From breakfast staples to grocery basics, snacks, drinks, dinner finds, and desserts, our list covers a wide range of categories to cater to every palate. Each product was carefully evaluated based on taste, value, and overall appeal, ensuring that only the best of the best made it to our Golden Cart Awards for 2025.
In the realm of breakfast staples, we discovered a coffee pod that promises a “fabulous, clean, and smooth” taste, as well as a yogurt that doubles as a decadent dessert. For those looking to shake up their kitchen essentials, our top picks for grocery basics include innovative vinegars, spices, salad dressings, and sauces that will elevate your cooking game.
When it comes to snacks, we found pickle-flavored pretzels with the perfect snap and a protein bar that is described as “so satisfying and filling” by our News Editor Andrea Lobas. On the beverage front, our editors sampled a variety of sparkling waters, teas, and probiotic sodas to bring you the best new drinks of the year, including a lemonade that doubles as a great mixer.
For dinner, we unearthed a frozen side dish that will become a staple in your kitchen, along with a pasta that smells like sourdough bread and has hooked Allstar Linda Crumbaugh. And last but certainly not least, our dessert category features indulgent treats that will satisfy even the sweetest tooth, including a dessert shortcut that left our Associate General Manager speechless.
With our comprehensive list of winning products, we hope to guide you through the grocery aisles with confidence, helping you discover new favorites and must-have items for your pantry. As grocery prices continue to rise, making informed decisions about what to buy is more important than ever, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
