Product judging is being completed today (Friday) after a full week of activity at the Regional Food Academy within Harper Adams University, Shropshire and entry levels plus the quality of entry are reported to be ‘fantastic’.
With many hundreds of products being evaluated by the judges and home economists, voting this year has also been strong and organisers say it all creates an optimistic outlook for the much anticipated ceremony on September 15th in Birmingham.
Event organiser Sharon Yandell commented: “All the results both for products and voting are being collated and we will move forward as soon as possible with contacting everyone that may be required. It’s a big job! Products were entered in ten categories and evaluated over this last week based on the exacting criteria used every year.
Chief judge of the MM Awards and CEO of the Institute of Meat Keith Fisher was very enthusiastic about the standard of products in the 2022 mix. He commented: “As always, the Meat Management Awards set a benchmark for products entered, coming into us from a myriad of businesses. These arrive from every corner of the meat industry. It really is a pleasure to be part of the initiative.
“As is usual the standards are very high and competition is stiff, so the eventual winners really can feel that their products are top drawer and something to shout about. We judge to exacting and consistent standards, and once again we have a brilliant Awards night in prospect on 15th September. It is always a highlight of the meat trade calendar”
Publisher and managing editor of Meat Management magazine, Graham Yandell, added: “The Awards are the top accolade that everyone wants to win in our particular food sector, and we are really delighted with the substantial level of participation again this year.
“We are set for a great night on 15th September with a first-class dinner and brilliant entertainment,. This event brings the industry together for a night of networking and fun so that everyone can celebrate in style. Goodness knows, with all the pressures we face in today’s market we all deserve it.”
