The Quality Food Awards Judging Process
The Quality Food Awards are highly regarded throughout the industry for the balance and integrity of the results.
Naturally, the ambition of everyone who enters is to win, but we are also aware that suppliers whose entries do not make the shortlist are interested in where they fell short of progressing to the final stages.
With this in mind, a huge benefit of entering the Quality Food Awards is the feedback you receive from the judging panel for every product entered. Your feedback will address how the product meets and satisfies the specific criteria, to aid in product development.
Products are presented to the judging panel individually within their category, and judges debate and discuss the merits of each product using our 10 point criteria (see below).
At the end of each category, the panel decides on the finalists for this category. This creates the shortlist; from which the panel deliberates further to decide the category winning product.
After all category winners have been selected a judging panel reconvenes to award the Product of the Year. This award symbolises the product which the panel agree is truly outstanding and worthy of the ultimate accolade. Judges' Feedback.
