Product evaluation starts for 2022 Meat Management Awards
Product entries by the hundred have been arriving at the Regional Food Academy test kitchens, located at Harper Adams University, Shropshire, where this year’s product judging for the Meat Management Industry Awards is underway.
A massive and diverse range of products have been delivered by companies large and small from right across the industry. The panel of judges headed up by Keith Fisher, the CEO of the Institute of Meat, has now started the process of evaluating entries.
The results will be revealed later this year at the popular ceremony scheduled for 15th September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, when Britain’s biggest event of its type for the meat industry will bring together guests and awards partners to celebrate the best of the best.
Head judge Keith Fisher said: “As usual the range and diversity of products, and the companies and top brands that have entered is amazing and we have a very busy and exciting few days in prospect. These awards always stand out for the scope of what they cover and the substantial support the initiative attracts. The innovation and range is great to see and I look forward to joining colleagues, plus the finalists and winners at the awards ceremony later this year. An event that should not be missed.
“I understand that the team of home economists responsible for cooking and preparing entries prior to judging have reported a very high standard of entry, which indicates a big job in prospect for those preparing the products in the kitchens and for the judges over the coming days.
Sharon Yandell, the lead organiser for the MM Meat Industry Awards said: “I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to enter. The industry faces a variety of logistical problems right now and at such a busy period, and with pressure on staffing for many companies, it is not always easy to find the time. However, despite the problems we have a fantastic range of products to evaluate once again.
“We are really looking forward to the next awards ceremony taking place on 15th September. We had a very special evening back in September last year and great support. With demand for tickets and tables likely to be high, 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.”
