Our Judges

We strongly value quality, fairness and thoroughness in our approach to judging food and drink. We are hugely proud of the breadth and depth of knowledge our judges bring, and our panel is made up of producers, suppliers, consultants, food scientists, product developers, allergy community leaders, parents of children with food restrictions, nutritionists & expert tasters. Judges are asked and guided to consider taste, flavour, nutrition, innovation, free from credentials, value & more when we evaluate. Read more about judging at the awards here. Together, our wonderful judges and our robust processes help ensure we judge according to our values. Some of our judges are also entrants or sponsors, but no one judges a category they have entered.
