Spotting a tried-and-true winner in the wild is simple: Look for the red logo, a shopper-recommended seal of approval that lets you cut through the clutter and trust that what you’re buying is truly innovative. Read on as we detail some of our favourites from the Food, Home and Personal Care categories—an outstanding group of novel products that warrant their expense.
