This year’s Meat Management Meat Industry Awards product judging has commenced [11th June], with many hundreds of entries from all corners of the meat industry being evaluated across 11 categories.
The product judging is taking place at the Regional Food Academy test kitchens, located at Harper Adams University, Shropshire, prior to the prestigious awards ceremony on 18th September in Birmingham when winners will be announced.
Libby Goodwin, the organiser for the 2025 MM Meat Industry Awards said: “I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to enter products and also those who have voted in other categories. We have had a very large entry this year, some 20% up on 2024.”
Keith Fisher of the Institute of Meat, who heads up the judging team, commented: “The range and quality of products that are judged always make this a stand-out annual event. The judging panel will have a busy few days in prospect and already I can see we have some great products entered and an interesting range to evaluate.”
Publisher of Meat Management magazine, Graham Yandell MBE, added: “We are really looking forward to the next awards ceremony taking place on 18th September. This is always a very special evening with excellent networking.
“With demand for tickets and tables already high this year, I recommend an early visit to the website to reserve places for the September ceremony and to take advantage of an early bird booking discount, which offers a big saving for those reserving tables now.”
