British Frozen Food Awards 2025
The Frozen Food awards are a celebration of quality, innovation and success of the best new and innovative products from across the frozen food sector over the past twelve months.
It is an opportunity for brands and businesses to promote products and to gain the recognition they deserve. Every year competition is stiff but for award winners there is no greater accolade or bigger opportunity to stand out in a busy market place. Category winners gain the opportunity to utilise the prestigious Frozen Food Award winning logos across packaging and marketing communications to promote their product.
Judging
Judging is completed by independent panels across the country where the product is cooked in conventional appliances and served according to the instructions laid out on the packaging.
This intense and vigorous judging process takes pace over a 12 week period involving hundreds of consumers and a panel of professional chefs.
Retail
Retail products are judged by independent consumer panels consisting of people from all walks of life across the UK. Products are then judged by a final panel of professional chefs, where scores are then combined to give us our final results.
Every Retail product is sampled a minimum of 24 times to ensure entries are fairly judged across a wide and varied demographic of people.
Criteria include:
- Appearance
- Flavour
- Texture
- Appeal
- Packaging
- Ease of use
- Value for money
- Likelihood to purchase
