The Grocer's Own Label Food & Drink Awards winners announced

The nine-month search for the stars of Britain’s own-label food and drink industry has reached its conclusion.

This year, The Grocer’s Own Label Food & Drink Awards received a record 1,103 entries that was whittled down to a shortlist of 372 through consumer testing conducted by our partners Cambridge Market Research.

Winners were then selected from those shortlisted products by combining the consumer scores with the votes of our panels of expert judges, and announced to retailers and their suppliers by a glittering ceremony at London’s Hilton Park Lane on 8 May.

“The number of entries we receive is a clear reflection of the growing importance of own-label to retailers. And with competition as fierce as it is, excellence is essential,” said The Grocer editor Adam Leyland, who co-hosted the awards lunch with writer and comedian Lucy Porter.

“That’s why we’re so proud of the Own Label Awards - it’s the best possible endorsement for your products,” added Leyland.

You can find details of the 69 ‘Gold’ category winners, the ‘Silver’ runners-up, and the product selected overall Own Label Champion right here on our special landing page.
