Guaranteed Irish and SuperValu announce SiSú Drinks as the winner of the €50,000 Guaranteed Irish & SuperValu Media Bursary for 2025. The fund aims to boost the media presence of a Guaranteed Irish food or drink member.

The bursary will allow “an emerging Irish food brand with a big ambition”  to advertise across SuperValu’s in-store digital screens, as well as other communications channels.

Founded by the McGann family in Limerick, SiSú is a family-run brand rooted in a passion for holistic nourishment and sustainability. Known for its award-winning, plant-based beverages, the brand continues to resonate with Irish consumers seeking functional, nutritious drinks that support a healthy lifestyle.

Speaking about the bursary, Aisling McGann, COO of her family business SiSú said, “We’re incredibly grateful to SuperValu and Guaranteed Irish for this bursary. As an emerging Irish food brand with a big ambition to inspire healthier choices through natural, innovative & good-for-you products, this bursary will make a meaningful difference. It will help us grow our reach, connect with more consumers, and continue building our brand that stands for health, strength, and sustainability. It’s a proud moment for our family, our team and our hugely loyal following.

The bursary was launched during Guaranteed Irish Food & Drink Month in June 2025, an initiative celebrating the innovation and contribution of local producers to the Irish economy. Open to all food and drink members, the competition invited brands to submit user-generated content (UGC) via Instagram or TikTok, showcasing how the Guaranteed Irish ‘G’ symbol helps them win busines.

They have demonstrated a genuine commitment to community, sustainability, and local collaboration. This bursary will support their continued growth and amplify the voice of a brand that carries the Guaranteed Irish symbol.
