NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Borealis Foods Inc. (NASDAQ:BRLS), a leading food science innovator, proudly announces that its Chef Woo® high-protein ramen has earned top honors from two of the food industry’s most respected tastemakers.
Following a national triple-blind taste test, Chef Woo was awarded the American Masters of Taste Gold Medal for Superior Taste by Chefs In America, the nation’s longest-standing independent culinary endorsement organization. The judging panel of over 6,500 professional chefs recognized the standout flavor, quality, and innovation of Chef Woo’s Roasted Chicken, Tequila Lime, and Baja Chili ramen — making Chef Woo the only ramen brand in the U.S. to receive this distinction.
“Chef Woo has successfully formulated a line of instant ramen that goes beyond the basic ‘cup of noodles,'” said a representative of Chefs In America. “This brand stood out for its bold flavors, culinary versatility, and commitment to plant-based protein — all with exceptional taste and accessibility.”
Adding to its accolades, Chef Woo was also named an Editor’s Top Pick by Food & Beverage Magazine in its August 2025 issue. Recognized under the Best in Sips & Snacks feature, this award highlights standout products for 2025, hand-selected by editors for exceptional innovation, taste, and consumer appeal.
“These two recognitions validate the heart of our mission: making nutritious, affordable, and craveable meals available to all,” said Reza Soltanzadeh, CEO of Borealis Foods. “We’re thrilled to see Chef Woo leading the way in redefining instant meals with both culinary credibility and consumer excitement.”
