Welcome to the UK Quality Food Awards

The longest-running, most prestigious food awards in the UK.

Now in its 46th year, the Quality Food Awards casts a spotlight on products that offer fine ingredients, great taste and aroma, beautiful packaging and superb value for money. Winning a Quality Food Award is an outstanding achievement. It means that your product has been judged to be the very best by renowned industry experts – and that really is something to shout about.

Entries into the 2025 UK Quality Food Awards are now open!

UK Quality Food Awards entries are judged by our independent judging panel of over 100 industry experts during an extremely rigorous judging process. By winning a UK Quality Food Award, and displaying the logo on the products, you are demonstrating to both existing and potential customers that you have earned the gold standard of excellence.

All entrants receive detailed feedback from our esteemed panel of judges, and winners also benefit from receiving a recognised accreditation that helps to facilitate new business and accelerate the process of breaking into the retail market.

We received such a positive response from Fused customers and retail buyers when we shared the news that we won a Quality Food Award. The Quality logo gives small food businesses credibility in a busy space. Since winning this award we are able to connect with Fused customers in-store and online by sharing the Quality logo on in-store displays, product labels and social media platforms.
