Annual Awards Program Recognizes Top Mindful Companies, Services and Products Within the Packaged Goods Industry

LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 2026 Mindful Awards Program, an independent recognition platform highlighting conscious companies and products that mindfully make waves in the ever-expanding world of consumer-packaged goods, today announced that Bella San Luci from Mooney Farms, a certified woman-owned family farm based in Chico, California, has been awarded “Salad Dressing Product of the Year” in the 8th annual awards program.

Bella Sun Luci Salad Vinaigrette line offers a health-conscious alternative to seed oils and preservatives. Made with 100% olive oil and all-natural, premium ingredients, the dressings are also free from artificial additives. Mooney Farm’s olive oil is sourced from the family estate, ensuring that each vinaigrette delivers a rich, unique flavor along with the oil’s natural health benefits. The California Olive Oil is cold-pressed from Arbequina olives and paired with premium De Nigris Italian balsamic vinegar, raw wildflower honey, and sun-dried tomatoes. The company oversees every aspect of the production process, from sourcing premium ingredients to packaging in its facility, to ensure quality and sustainability.

Bella San Luci’s Salad Dressing line features five varieties. The classic Balsamic Vinaigrette is crafted using 25-year barrel-aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, along with lemon and raw honey. The California Vinaigrette is made with locally sourced honey and sweet oranges, along with a blend of rich vinegar, fresh herbs and spices. The Sonoma Vinaigrette features garlic and a mixture of Italian herbs and is infused with sun-dried tomatoes. Additionally, the Champagne Vinaigrette, handcrafted in small batches, combines California champagne vinegar balanced by herbs. The Meyers Lemon Vinaigrette with Basil and Wildflower Honey is produced with Meyer lemons picked at their peak, along with notes of basil and honey.

“For over 38 years, Bella Sun Luci has been known for premium, health-conscious products. We are proud to offer consumers an option that enhances both the flavor of their meals and their overall wellness. With each bottle, we are not just selling a product but inspiring a healthier, more flavorful way of eating,” said Mary Mooney, Founder of Mooney Farms. “Thank you to the Mindful Awards for this wonderful accolade that underlies our commitment to using premium ingredients, prioritizing transparency and integrity in ingredient sourcing, and taking a stand against the widespread use of seed oils and preservatives in the food industry.”

As a certified woman-owned company rooted in family values, Bella Sun Luci is committed to sustainability and mindful food production. The company practices sustainable farming, minimizes waste, and maximizes efficiency.

The mission of the Mindful Awards is to bring awareness to the benefits of mindfulness and its impact on society as a whole, to create a more compassionate and sustainable world. The 2026 awards program honors conscious consumer packaged goods (CPGs) companies, products, and services that are setting a new standard in the CPG industry, recognizing the very best in transparent, fair, natural, organic, sustainable, healthy and delicious categories. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from all over the world from companies whose innovations enhance daily living, promote sustainability, and improve quality of life.

“Bella San Luci sets a new standard in the salad dressing industry while delivering authentic Italian flavor. Many popular dressings rely on inflammatory seed and canola oils, MSG, and artificial preservatives. Along with industrial processing, these factors can increase inflammation and lead to other health issues,” said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Mindful Awards. “Mooney Farms and Bella Sun Luci are making mindful waves by blending tradition, innovation, and sustainability into their products. Their line of Salad Vinaigrette represents a shift in the salad dressing category. For integrating high-quality, carefully sourced ingredients along with a rich, unique flavor, we’re awarding Bella San Luci with ‘Salad Dressing Product of the Year.'”

While the demand for CPGs remains consistent, consumer preferences evolve and change as they rely more heavily on third-party validation when making new purchasing decisions. The 2026 Mindful Awards winners range from groundbreaking food and beverage products to sustainable household solutions, redefining consumer experiences worldwide.

The Mindful Awards organization is devoted to honoring mindful companies in the consumer-packaged goods industry that are setting the foundation for our future.

Lorien AI brings conversational AI, document automation, and underwriting support into MeridianLink Mortgage for modern lending teams.

MIAMI, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Lorien AI, a provider of agentic AI for mortgage lenders, announced that its platform will be integrated with MeridianLink® Mortgage. The native integration allows mortgage lenders to seamlessly deploy Lorien’s advanced conversational AI layer directly within their MeridianLink Mortgage Loan Origination System (LOS), dramatically accelerating loan velocity and driving operational efficiency.

Lorien AI is focused on building the future of mortgage lending. By embedding Lorien AI directly into the MeridianLink Mortgage workflow, teams no longer have to step away from their active sessions to wait on manual help desks or email queues for scenario questions or policy clarifications. Instead, Lorien acts as an always-on assistant, parsing complex loan documentation, verifying data entries against the Loan Origination System (LOS), and providing instant, natural-language guidance on lending policies, underwriting guidelines, and interdepartment communications.

Unlike standard AI applications built on public models like ChatGPT, Lorien AI operates data automation on its own isolated, proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs). This enterprise-grade architecture guarantees absolute data privacy and strict regulatory compliance, ensuring that a lender’s proprietary data, loan-scenario logic, and internal policies are completely ring-fenced and never used to train public algorithms. Users can also use commercialized models for tasks that don’t require the highest level of security.

MeridianLink® powers digital lending and account opening for financial institutions and provides data verification solutions for consumer reporting agencies. MeridianLink’s innovative, cloud-based platforms help customers build deeper relationships with consumers through data-driven, personalized experiences across the entire lending life cycle. MeridianLink’s Partner Marketplace supports hundreds of integrations for tailored innovation.

“We are incredibly proud to partner with an industry leader like MeridianLink,” said Marcus Arkan, CEO and founder of Lorien AI. “Our mission is to bring legacy operators into the AI-enabled future of mortgage lending. By embedding Lorien’s intelligence directly into the MeridianLink ecosystem, we are giving lenders a highly customizable, scalable solution to elevate the partner experience, eliminate operational friction, and dramatically reduce turn-times without a proportional increase in headcount.”

Lorien AI is an advanced AI-powered platform designed to streamline and automate the manual complexities of the mortgage lending process. For more information, visit www.uselorien.com.
