The Arbroath-based company is up for the Fruit and Vegetable Product award for its Good Natured Fruit, alongside Castle MacLellan Foods for its Marks & Spencer Butternut Squash Pate and SuperJam, Edinburgh for its SuperJam Range.
ASF specialises in pesticide-free strawberries, raspberries and blueberries packed in recyclable and compostable punnets and sleeves.
The company won the Supreme Award in 2008 with Good Natured Fruit and this year has been shortlisted in four categories including Product Innovation, Marketing Initiative Of The Year and Environmental Sustainability.
Three of the 16 categories have still to be short-listed and judged - Profiting Through Skills, which is new for 2009, International Business of the Year and Success Through Working in Partnerships.
In addition to individual category awards, there are two Supreme awards for 2009 - Product of the Year and Business of the Year.
The winners will be announced at a presentation ceremony and dinner in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Museum on May 7.
