This year’s Food Industry Awards product judging was successfully completed on Friday last [13th February] with judges enthusiastic about the quality and range of products entered.
All evaluations took place at the Reiser UK test kitchens situated in Milton Keynes, with a significant entry of meat industry products received in the mix.
The Awards recognise the best in the food manufacturing, retailing and foodservice sectors, and products were evaluated against a strict criteria.
The finalists of each category will be announced in the near future, with winners exclusively revealed at the Awards ceremony and business lunch taking place in London on 12th June.
Keith Fisher, who is a director of the Institute of Meat, headed up the judging panel. Fisher commented: “It has been another brilliant judging period and we have seen plenty of innovation as well as some superb traditional products.
“We have judged many interesting and diverse products from ice cream and desserts to confectionary and baked products, with everything in-between. I must say that some of the meat and poultry entries have been very exciting!”
“Next stop will be the much-anticipated awards ceremony and lunch on Friday 12th June 2026.”
