Welcome to the Quality Food Awards 2023

Now in its 44th year, the UK Quality Food Awards are the longest-running, most prestigious awards in the food and drink industry in the UK.

Our vast range of categories recognise a variety of quality products from retailers, wholesalers, foodservice and own label brands; we even have a Small Producers category, for companies with fewer than 10 staff and annual sales under £2million, with a significantly reduced entry fee.

Every single product entered will receive detailed feedback from our esteemed panel of judges, which can aid in product development.

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.
