Great Taste, the world’s largest and most trusted food and drink accreditation scheme organised by the Guild of Fine Food, opens for entries once again.
Dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the food & drink world, the Great Taste accreditation scheme allows food and drink producers to put their products to the test with a panel of over 500 experts, a quick and cost-effective way to get honest, straightforward market feedback from chefs, buyers, food retailers, restaurateurs, producers, and food writers.
Every year, over 14,000 products from more than 100 countries around the world are put forward and judged entirely on taste, with on average only 35% going on to win a 1-, 2- or 3-star award; a logo which is becoming increasingly known amongst UK adults, with 55% saying it would persuade them to buy a product.
John Farrand, managing director of the Guild of Fine Food comments: “Another year of Great Taste has begun, what an exciting time. We look forward to starting the process once more and discovering a roster of great tasting and inspirational products on our judging tables.
“Put your food or drink in front of our panel; every entry receives invaluable feedback from a world class array of industry experts which can be used to shape product development. Don’t hang around, entries close 7 February.”
