The Nourish Awards are the UK’s leading industry awards for healthy food, beverages, and supplement products. The Awards were launched in 2017 and have seen a significant uptake from the industry, ranging from start-ups to established retail brands.
They now accept world wide entries in order to continue to recognise and celebrate innovative, nutritious, and delicious products. Their mission is to ‘make healthy mainstream – not the niche.’ Their aim is to see award-winning products widely available not only at retail outlets but also in food service, hospitality, and catering.
The Nourish Awards program not only celebrates outstanding achievements but also sets the benchmark for innovation in healthy food and beverage, empowering businesses to thrive in an evolving health-conscious market.
Every year The Nourish Awards proudly bring together a diverse group of leading nutritionists and seasoned industry experts to evaluate and honour excellence within the health food industry. Their collective expertise in nutrition, health, product development, and market trends ensures that the awards embody the highest standards of quality and innovation.
- Expertise in Nutrition and Health: The majority of their panel consists of qualified and practicing nutritionists who bring a wealth of knowledge on health and wellness. This ensures that the Nourish Awards celebrate products that truly contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
- Passion for Innovation: Their judges also include experienced industry experts who have spent decades shaping the food and beverage sector. Their experience in judging industry awards and their keen eye for groundbreaking products set the foundation for recognizing true innovation.
- Unparalleled Market Knowledge: Combining nutritional expertise with the experience and knowledge of industry and commercial judges, the panel possesses a holistic understanding of food, nutrition, product development, and commerce. Together they identify and celebrate the most impactful and high-quality products in the market.
The Nourish Awards judges are chosen for their dedication and vision to advancing the health food industry. Their combined expertise ensures that the Nourish Awards remain a benchmark for excellence, spotlighting products that stand out for their nutritional value, innovation, and market relevance. Products are not compared to each other but evaluated based on their own characteristics.

JUDGES APPRECIATED
The judges were highly impressed with the visual appeal of the artisan chocolate bar, describing it as “beautiful” and admiring the uniqueness of the combination of ingredients such as coconut, nuts, and dried banana. The addition of Organic Palmyra Blossom Nectar was particularly noted, praised both for its nutritional value and its ability to sweeten the bar naturally. The product’s commitment to organic and sustainably grown ingredients, as well as its support of small communities, was a major highlight. The ethical story behind the product, including its handmade nature, gave it a special appeal to consumers. Judges appreciated the clean ingredients list and enjoyed the subtle hints of cinnamon and tropical fruit flavours. The bar’s creaminess and innovative use of ingredients were praised as well.

The judges gave us some really useful recommendations on how to improve our products in the future which we were very grateful for and will take on board.
As a very small business it is an absolute honour and a privilege to be recognised as an innovator and contributor to the health food and vegan/plant based/whole food markets. We are very grateful for this award and the confidence it gives our customers in our products.
