“Canna Companion” Named 2015 CPG Editor’s Choice Award Finalist

MISSION, British Columbia - Aug. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Informa Exhibitions has named the “Canna Companion” hemp supplement brand by WFS Pharmagreen Inc. as one of its finalists for the 2015 SupplySide CPG Editor’s Choice Awards.

Five 2015 consumer packaged goods (CPG) products were selected by the SupplySide editorial team for achievements in innovation and market impact in 17 different categories. Canna Companion was named to the short list in the Pet/Animal Supplements category

One winner in each category will be announced at SupplySide West 2015 during the SupplySide CPG Editor’s Choice Awards Presentations, set for October 7 and 8 at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Upon receiving the news, Pharmagreen’s President, Director and co-founder Robert W. Stewart was understandably pleased: “It’s an honor to be selected as one of the top five finalists in this highly competitive and ever changing product category and we congratulate the other four finalists under consideration. We are equally pleased to know that we have met the judge’s benchmarks for our brand to be recognized as being a “market innovation” that addresses “a consumer need” and that is “substantiated by science”. And especially that we have “the ‘cool’ factor”. We could not have stated it any better ourselves.”

The products are the brainchild of the veterinarian team of Dr. Sarah Brandon and Dr. Greg Copas and are the result of over a decade of research, development and application in clinical settings. Brandon and Copas are widely recognized as the world leaders in the examination and application of hemp based formulations as a means of supporting animal health. They are also Pharmagreen senior executives and directors of the Company’s Animal Products Division.
