March 1, 2023 (Montréal, Québec) - Dairy Farmers of Canada's Quebec team of dietitians and nutritionists has been recognized for its top-of-class initiative to help Canadian families eat better by choosing foods that are healthy for them and the planet. DUX Market’s Communication Initiatives - Websites and Mobile Applications award was presented to the team for the website Cuisinonsenfamille.ca (“Let’s cook as a family”) in front of almost 450 agri-food industry professionals and stakeholders at the 11th DUX Grand Prix Gala, which took place on February 22nd.

Presented by Éducation Nutrition, the Cuisinons en famille site offers a unique experience, encouraging parents to get their children more involved in the kitchen.
