USANA Accolades: Best of State and More!

The odds must be ever in our favor right now because we have been honored with more than 20 awards this month, and we are only 10 days into it. (Yes, I unsuccessfully inserted a Hunger Games reference.) But the craziness doesn’t stop there.

Last year USANA set a company record of 45 prestigious awards over the course of 365 days, and as of this very moment, we already have 42. I don’t want to jinx our chances, but I think we might beat that record this year.

Regardless of what happens, though, USANA is continuously being recognized by credible third-party organizations for everything from our charitable efforts to our products to the creative ways we communicate with our Associates, and that’s what really matters. At the end of the day, it’s not the quantity that matters, but the quality of the honors we are given.

2012 Best of State

The Best of State Awards are given to companies based off of their excelled endeavors, innovative approaches and methods, and contributions to creating a better quality of life in Utah. This year USANA was named the best in the following categories:

  • Dietary Supplements (8th win since 2003)
  • Health/Nutrition Beverage – Rev3 Energy (4th win since 2009)
  • Health/Nutrition Products
  • Science and Technology — Research and Development

A huge shout out to our Research and Development department for all of their hard-work and dedication in creating high-quality nutritional products and being amazing at it!
