Product nominations for this year’s UK Sausage Week competition are well underway with the final entry deadline set for Monday 29th July. All entries are free of charge and there are eight categories plus the additional Supreme Sausage Champion Award.
UK Sausage Week (UKSW) returns over the 28th October – 3rd November period and as usual butchers, supermarkets, foodservice and manufacturers across the UK are participating.
The week commences with a celebration lunch in London on 28th October 2024 at Butchers’ Hall, when the UK Supreme Sausage Champion will be revealed, alongside a host of category winners.
Chief Judge Keith Fisher, the CEO of the Institute of Meat (IoM) commented: “Entries in previous years have been outstanding and following its suspension during the covid pandemic it is brilliant news that UK Sausage Week will return in 2024 together with its popular competition.”
Joanna Thomson editor of Meat Management magazine, who organise UKSW, added: “We all know how important the sausage market is to the UK meat trade and now, more than ever, getting involved could not be more important. It’s a great opportunity to get customers thinking about and buying more sausages!”
