Big Flavour. Expertly Approved: Turban Chopsticks Take Top Honours at the 2026 Healthy Food Guide Awards

At Turban Chopsticks, we believe that good food shouldn’t be a complicated chore, it should be comforting, full of flavour and a daily moment of connection for everyone at the table.

That’s why we are beyond excited to announce that three of our fan-favourites have been named Winners in the 2026 Healthy Food Guide Special Diet Awards.

Out of hundreds of products across Australia and New Zealand, our range was analyzed by qualified dietitians and selected for excellence in nutrition, integrity and taste.

These awards are designed to help shoppers find trusted, healthy choices in a crowded supermarket aisle and we are honoured to be among those leading the way.

Our Award-Winning Lineup

We’ve always stayed true to our mission of empowering every type of cook with authentic, wholesome shortcuts. This year, the experts have given the "healthy tick" to these kitchen staples:

• Winner (Gluten-Free Category): Our iconic Butter Chicken sauce
• Winner (Plant-Based Category): The vibrant Thai Green Curry
• Winner (Plant-Based Category): Our Traditional Jewelled Mung Dahl Kit

A Note from our Founder, Mei Yong

"When I started Turban Chopsticks, it was about more than just sauces; it was about sharing my family’s cultural soul and making world flavours 'Simply Possible' for busy lives. To have our recipes taste tested and approved by dietitians is a huge milestone. It reinforces that you don't have to compromise on health to enjoy a meal that tastes like it took hours to simmer."

Why These Awards Matter

Finding "safe" food often feels like a stress-filled search for those with specific dietary needs. With an estimated 1 in 70 Australians living with Coeliac disease and millions more embracing plant-based lifestyles globally, these wins solidify Turban Chopsticks as a brand you can trust.

Our recipes are inspired by kitchens from all over the world—a mix of cultures, stories and tastes. Whether you are a curious cook or a kitchen rookie, these awards prove that our "clean" ingredients and real integrity deliver big flavour with small effort.

Get Inspired in the Kitchen

Winning the award is just the start. The real magic happens in your kitchen! We’ve designed these products to be incredibly versatile, perfect for weeknights, weekends and everything in between.
