2025 BEST NEW PRODUCT ENTRIES:
BEYOND OIL USA Inc.
Beyond Oil Filter Powder for Cooking Oil
Beyond Oil is a revolutionary deep fat frying / cooking oil treatment that reduces operators' cooking oil consumption by 70% on average. Our patented product allows restaurants to serve higher quality food that is actually healthier. This is because Beyond Oil absorbs and removes the degradation and spoilage agents from the oil that cause the oil to degrade to an unusable state, typically over a 2-3 day period.
Any Operator knows that their food is at its best when their oil is fresh out of the box and at optimal quality. But the minute they start cooking in the oil, the food quality rapidly declines as the oil degrades. Beyond Oil keeps the oil quality at its peak for a shocking 28 to 45 days, which assures that the food quality stays at its peak. Ultimately producinga crispier, tastier, better smelling and better looking product.

My office is in Palisades, New York and I operate in all fifty states, in Canada and in Mexico. I can fund equipment purchases, Account Receivable financing, working capital, merchant cash advances and SBA loans.

LIGAO FOODS USA Inc.
Baked Crispy Mochi Bun
You’ve had the sticky Daifuku mochi, but have you ever crunched into a crispy, air-friable mochi bun stuffed with creamy vanilla ice cream? Say hello to OKoon’s Chew-O! Baked Crispy Mochi Bun by Ligao Foods.
Originally from South Korea as the "Dragon's Egg Bun" and wildly popular across China, Taiwan, and Japan, this treat is traditionally chewy and nutritious. We’ve taken it up a notch by filling it with rich vanilla ice cream, creating the ultimate hot-meets-cold unique experience. Just air-fry it for a tempura-like crunch or let it rest for a soft, melty bite— either way, it’s a next-gen fusion of tradition and innovation.
Now a popular addition to chain restaurant dessert, buffet menus and many more occasions.
