East Rutherford-based Mama’s Creations Italian sauces, meatballs and chicken picked up QVC customer choice awards for an eighth year in a row. 

This year, the televised home shopping network’s customers voted the MamaMancini’s brand canned sauce as the best condiment. Meanwhile, the company’s Italian herb roasted chicken took home best chicken honors.

Additionally, its meatball and sauce combo ranked No. 1 in the “I Could Eat This Every Day” category.

When QVC announced the 2024 Costumer Food Choice Award winners during a Sept. 18 broadcast, company co-founder Dan Mancini was on hand to receive the awards.  Overall, honors spanned 31 product categories.

Mancini commented, “QVC is a household name and represents the heart of the American consumer. Our eighth year of winning products is an incredible testament to our brand. We truly appreciate our customers’ dedication and would like to thank each and every one of them for casting their votes in favor of our products.”

Adam Michaels, chairman and chief executive officer of Mama’s Creations, said, “Once again, our products took top honors, reflecting the success of the entire Mama’s Creations’ team in creating recipes that bring joy to QVC’s loyal consumers. QVC continues to be a strong partner for us with its reach into over 100 million homes in North America and as one of the largest direct to consumer marketers in North America.”

QVC consumer connection

“With the acceleration of consumers choosing fresh, clean and easy to prepare meals, we are focused on building our QVC partnership, and incrementally introducing new products and flavors to the market such as our award-winning roasted chicken, our meatballs in a cup on-the-go meal solution, newly launched retail ready grilled chicken breast in vacuum packs, and gourmet paninis,” he said.

Michaels went on to say, “Our partnership with QVC is extra special, because it allows us to connect one-on-one with our consumers. Dan and our chefs work hand-in-hand with the QVC team to develop first-to-market innovations that premiere on QVC exclusively for our QVC consumers. When we see tremendous success and ‘pent up’ demand for these items, we are able to roll similar versions out nationally with our grocery and club retailers that are non-exclusive to QVC, like we did with our meatballs in a cup and grilled chicken.”

Founded in 2010, Mama’s Creations makes and distributes all-natural beef, turkey, chicken and pork meatballs, as well as other similar Italian products. As part of a rebrand to better reflect the transition into a one-stop shop for prepared foods, the company changed its name in August 2023 from MamaMancini’s to Mama’s Creations.

Sold at over 8,000 grocery, mass, club and convenience stores nationally, including Costco, Kings, Whole Foods, ShopRite, Stop & Shop and The Fresh Market, the brand is also available through QVC’s direct platform on live appearances, auto shipments and online purchases.
