Global Authority on Anti-Additive Certification

The A.A. Taste Awards is the world's exclusive comprehensive evaluation dedicated to the "Clean Label" spirit. Notably, its culinary category is recognized as one of the world's top four premier gastronomy awards.

To champion the concept of clean gastronomy, the Anti-Additive Clean Label Organization established the A.A. Taste Awards in 2016. As the pioneering culinary award rooted in the Clean Label philosophy, it has swiftly ascended to be regarded as one of the world's top-tier accolades.

The A.A. Taste Awards aim to honor food and beverage operators who minimize or entirely eliminate artificial food additives while remaining dedicated to delivering exceptional flavor and quality. Over the years, this initiative has garnered overwhelming global resonance. The evaluation scope has progressively expanded to encompass alcoholic beverages, Halal-certified foods, a diverse range of premium consumer goods, and health and nutritional supplements.

Our esteemed evaluation panel comprises experts and scholars from various fields across more than 80 countries. Adopting a highly professional and rigorous approach, the jury conducts independent evaluations for all submitted items. For the culinary and food categories, assessments are strictly executed through blind tasting, blind testing, and mystery shopper methodologies. This ensures that participants receive the most profound, objective, and actionable insights.

Consequently, the A.A. Taste Awards serve not only as a benchmark for cross-industry professionals but also as a trusted guide for consumers. Participants in the A.A. Taste Awards share our vision of promoting an additive-free lifestyle, working together to foster a healthier and more sustainable product landscape for the future. To incentivize and reward these forward-thinking enterprises, we annually convene local government officials, media representatives, and prominent industry leaders at our grand award ceremony. This event celebrates brand excellence while significantly amplifying their global visibility and market exposure.
