Richard Walton, member of the awards jury, said: "The innovation and sustainability aspects that Yili is bringing to the market are extraordinarily impressive. In particular on the packaging, it is a beautiful packaging, without ink, and it is also recyclable, which which is very impressive."

Yili's "Room Temperature Cheese Lollipop" was also successful, winning the award for "Innovation in New Product Development Focusing on Food Safety and Consumer Nutrition." By adding bifidobacterium lactis BL-99 to the product, Yili has launched a new category of children's cheese lollipops that can be stored at room temperature, pushing the limits of traditional cold chain logistics and low-temperature sales in the market. "The room temperature cheese lollipop has been an incredible idea that I had never imagined before. It is very good and provides nutrition to people. Room temperature innovations are exceptional because now you can bring dairy products and even probiotics to areas where before were not available," added Richard Walton.

The continuous flow of innovation achievements is supported by Yili's global innovation network. To date, Yili has established 15 innovation centers around the world, launched collaborative initiatives in innovative healthy food R&D with its partners, and cooperated in innovation with foreign universities, scientific research institutions and partners such as the International Institute of Life Sciences, Wageningen University
