Food Experts’ Awards – FEA

The FEA (Food Experts’ Awards) is an established institution of awards recognizing quality, innovation, and excellence in the Food and Beverage sector. Organized by cibum.gr – a specialized portal for food quality and safety – in collaboration with HELEXPO, the awards ceremony is hosted at every edition of the Food & Drinks by Detrop exhibition.

The awards focus on rewarding hard work, safety, scientific validity, and innovative ideas. Nominations are evaluated by independent scientists and industry experts, with the sponsorship and support of leading certification bodies and food testing laboratories.

One of the most popular award categories is BEST in TASTE. This is a taste evaluation where products are not judged by “experts”, but by a consumer panel in an accredited sensory evaluation laboratory.

Finally, in addition to products and companies, the FEA also present special honorary awards (such as the Antoine LAVOISIER, Nicolas APPERT, and ARISTOTELIS awards) to individuals, academic institutions, and organizations for their overall contribution to Food Science.

Participation is open to companies involved in the production, processing, or trading of food and beverages, as well as businesses that support the industry with services and equipment.

The FEA 2026 ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at 17:30 at the Open Stage in Pavilion 8 of FOOD & DRINKS by Detrop.

The call for entries for FEA 2026 concludes with: “Join us in writing a Story worth telling!”
