The integrity and impartiality of the UK Best 100 Taste Awards selection process is of paramount important to us. The role of our panel members is solely to nominate brands that they believe deserve recognition. Their nominations are not tied to determining the final results. Here’s how we ensure fairness and transparency:
Panel Nominations:
Expert Insight: Our panel members are experts chosen for their knowledge and experience within the food and dining industry. They provide valuable input by nominating brands that they believe exemplify excellence in taste, healthiness, and sustainability.
Objective Evaluation: Panel members understand the need for unbiased evaluation. Their nominations serve as the initial step in identifying deserving brands for consideration.
Final Results and AA Clean Label Organisation:
Third-Party Oversight: We work in collaboration with the AA Clean Label Organisation to ensure a thorough and impartial evaluation process. This organisation, as an external entity, holds the final authority in determining the winners.
Fair Evaluation: The AA Clean Label Organisation reviews all nominations, conducting background checks and thorough assessments to verify authenticity and compliance with clean label principles. Their role is pivotal in ensuring the credibility of the final results.
Transparency and Impartiality:
Ethical Responsibility: Both our panel members and the AA Clean Label Organisation uphold a strong ethical responsibility to ensure the fairness and transparency of the awards.
Open Communication: We maintain open lines of communication with our panel members, encouraging them to disclose any affiliations or potential conflicts of interest. This enables us to address such situations promptly.
Our commitment to integrity and impartiality remain unwavering. The involvement of our panel members is a testament to their dedication to the industry’s advancement, while the oversight of the AA Clean Label Organisation adds an additional layer of transparency to the process.
