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.
