\nThe Artisan Food Trail<\/strong><\/a> will be travelling to the judging venue at the University of West London, to add their expertise and voice to the Quality Food Awards judging panel.<\/p>\n

Quality Food Awards judging<\/h2>\n

The panel comprises of 200 respected food and drink experts from many food disciplines. These include\u00a0photographic experts, chefs, food stylists, buyers, food producers and more. This brings the widest pool of knowledge possible to the judging sessions.<\/p>\n

The merits of every product are debated and discussed by the judges based on these criteria: taste, flavour, texture, aroma, ingredients list, innovation, packaging, presentation and price point.
\nFull details of the judging process can be found on the Quality Food Awards website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Feedback for entrants<\/h2>\n

The Quality Food Awards awards are highly regarded throughout the industry for the balance and integrity of the results. For this reason, it is the ambition of everyone who enters, to win. But what happens if a producer\u2019s entry does not make the shortlist?<\/p>\n

Obviously entrants are interested to know why they did not achieve selection to go on to the final stages, so feedback is shared from the judging panel.<\/p>\n

Every entry receives feedback from the judging sessions, concentrating on how the product meets and satisfies the criteria, to help producers with their product development.<\/p>\n

Judges feedback will be available after the awards ceremony.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pointers for a good Quality Food Awards entry<\/h2>\n

\nClearly with all food products, the flavour is central, but texture is also often very important.
\nThe Quality Food Awards looks at products for their innovation, quality, flavour, presentation and value for money.<\/p>\n
