HORMEL® Foods and WFC Prepare to Heat Up the Chili Category

The World Food Championships announced today that Hormel Foods would be returning once again as the presenting sponsor of the chili category in 2018. This will be the fourth year that the makers of HORMEL® Foods Chili will be a part of Food Sport’s biggest event and this year has even more in store than ever before.

“HORMEL® Foods has been a fantastic partner and great supporter of Food Sport over the years,” commented Mike McCloud, President/CEO of WFC. “We are thrilled to have them back again to help us further expand the Chili category and showcase the superb culinary abilities of these cooks.”

HORMEL® Foods, which has more than 30 of America’s favorite brands that are all ranked number one or two in their category, will be involved in many areas of the main event in November. In fact, the company which dates back to 1891 has already stepped up this year to help Food Champs win their way to the Ultimate Food Food. Several of HORMEL® Foods’ products were featured in Taste of America, which is the event’s largest online qualifying process for competitors. At the championships, food fans will also get to sample some of HORMEL® Foods’ products in the Walmart Tasting Pavilion.  

During the tournament process, HORMEL® Foods’ products will be used in both the Structured and Top 10 rounds of the Chili category. Details on specific requirements and dishes of this, as well as all other WFC categories, will be released August 1st.

“We're very excited to be back to partner with the WFC again in 2018,” says Mark E. Beierle, HORMEL® chili brand manager. “We've seen some incredible chili recipes throughout our partnership and can't wait to see what these talented cooks bring to the table this year!”

The World Food Championship main event is scheduled for Nov 7 – 11, 2018, at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama. To keep up with all WFC news, follow World Food Championships on Twitter (@WorldFoodChamp), and Facebook or Instagram (@WorldFoodChampionships).
