Assessment and recognition
How entries are assessed
Expert panels independently blind-taste products and award medals under the scoring and discussion procedure.
Recognition and permitted use
Winning products may use the corresponding official medal artwork. Changing the formulation or product after entry can affect eligibility to use it.
Official sources and verification
This is an independently maintained reference record. The organiser’s current rules govern eligibility, deadlines, charges and the award decision. The review date describes source verification, not a new publication of organiser rules.
