Product judging for the 2025 UK Sausage Week (UKSW) competition is drawing closer, as organisers encourage industry to nominate products ahead of the Friday 1st August deadline.

Graham Yandell MBE, publisher of Meat Management magazine, who organise UKSW commented: “Nominating sausage products now will allow good time for us to respond and for entrants to plan product delivery. Winning sausages and shortlisted finalists normally see a very substantial boost to sales and can generate wide publicity, so I do hope as many businesses as possible will participate.
“We have already received a large number of nominations, and I am sure the UKSW judging panel will have a very interesting few days selecting the best of the best from the hundreds of entries we receive!”
