The Food Experts Awards (FEA) are awards for innovation and excellence in the food and beverage industry. It is essentially an international awards program that focuses exclusively on achievements in the Food and Beverage sector, rewarding individuals and organizations that distinguish themselves in this field.

FEA are designed to identify, recognize and honor companies, organizations and professionals for their achievements, dedication, outstanding work and excellence in areas such as innovation, quality, food safety, development, management and success in achieving major business and technological goals and objectives, intertwined with food science.

The Food Experts Awards aim to identify, reward and accelerate the development of innovative companies that have the greatest potential for a positive impact on the transformation and evolution of the agri-food chain and the food industry, in full alignment with one or more of the FEA’s core pillars: better design, better technology, better production, better nutrition, better environment and better life.

They are organized by Cibum, the Greek food expert’s website, while the evaluation team of all nominations consists exclusively of carefully selected scientists and food industry professionals who believe in innovation and have extensive experience, being recognized and qualified in their field. The FEA methodology is designed to deliver results with objectivity and impartiality, while the process is thoroughly reviewed and controlled by an independent auditing body.
