Every year, as part of the International Autumn Food Exhibition WorldFood Moscow, a tasting competition "Product of the Year" is held, and this year will be no exception. The goal of the competition is to identify and recognize the best food products and raw materials for their production that are currently available on the Russian market.
A professional jury will determine the winners in 19 nominations: from organic products and confectionery to drinks and snacks. Products will be assessed based on their organoleptic, physicochemical and microbiological indicators, as well as packaging and compliance with labeling requirements. The title of "Product of the Year 2025" will be awarded to products that are superior in quality to their analogues, produced using innovative technologies and meeting the necessary standards.
Applications for participation in the competition are accepted until September 16. Only legal entities, including peasant (farming) households and individual entrepreneurs, can submit an application. Participation in the competition is paid, but until July 21 you can pay for it at a special price:
// for exhibitors: 15,000 (registration fee) + 7,000 ₽ (for sample)
// for non-exhibitors: 21,000 (registration fee) + 13,000 ₽ (for sample)
The award ceremony for the winners of the Product of the Year 2025 competition will take place on September 18 at the WorldFood Moscow 2025 exhibition. The winners will not only receive awards, but will also be able to place a medal on the packaging of their products, and information about them will be available in the WorldFood Moscow advertising catalog.
