The Foodies awards celebrate the small and medium-sized enterprises that power Europe's food system, from farm to fork — recognising the craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability work that bring our food and drink to life. The European flavour industry is overwhelmingly made up of SMEs, many of them family-owned and all of them innovation-driven, with the sensory know-how and creative craft that sit quietly at the heart of so much of what consumers taste and enjoy.
The Foodies is a rare opportunity to step into the spotlight alongside farmers, processors and producers, and to be celebrated in front of the buyers, brand owners, retailers and policymakers who shape tomorrow's food. Winners will be honoured at SIAL Paris, the world's largest food and drink exhibition.
The awards are brought to you by the Agri-Food Code network — driven by the signatories of the EU Code of Conduct on Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices, of which EFFA is also a signatory — in partnership with SIAL Paris and with the support of the European Commission's DG GROW.
