The Quality Food Awards are the most prestigious awards for food and drink products on sale in UK grocery outlets. What sets these awards apart is the impartiality and robustness of the judging process, which rightly sits at the heart of everything we do.

The awards are regarded as the most difficult accolades to win in the food and drink industry, which highlights just how thorough the judging process is and underlines the true value of winning one of these awards.

The judging panel is comprised of experts from many different industry disciplines, and our judges are a vital component of the validity and robustness of the results.

The judges take every aspect of a product into consideration - rewarding great flavours, high-quality ingredients, excellent value for money and outstanding packaging, which increases the retail success of a product.

The Quality Drink Awards were be presented during a drinks reception in the Jeeves Suite at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London's Park Lane, which was be followed by the Quality Food Awards gala dinner and presentations.

The awards are sponsored by Benson Group, the headline sponsor, Alaska Seafood and Invest NI.
