Contest of Culturally and Religiously Compliant Products 2025
Kosher Product Competition

The Kosher Product Competition offers a unique opportunity for both domestic and international producers to showcase their products within these two specialized categories.
The aim of the competition is to recognize and reward high-quality food products that meet kosher standards, thereby supporting informed consumer choices.

Kosher products not only reflect religious and cultural practices, but also play an increasingly important role in modern dietary trends and alternative lifestyles. These products are gaining popularity not only among religious communities but also among health-conscious and ethically-minded consumers. Today, they can be just as relevant as "free-from" or specialty food products.

While the market offers an expanding range of kosher options, consumers often lack clear and accessible information. This competition aims to help navigate that diversity—regardless of religious affiliation—by highlighting products that deserve recognition and visibility.

Who can enter?
We welcome applications from manufacturers, distributors, and food industry players whose products hold valid kosher certification.
The competition is open to both domestic and international participants.

Competition Categories
Entries are accepted in both food and non-food categories.
The full list of competition categories is available here.

All companies involved in the production, manufacturing, or distribution of FMCG products (both food and non-food) are eligible to apply for the "Contest of Culturally and Religiously Compliant Products 2025 - Kosher Product Competition" award, provided their products are available on the Hungarian and/or international market.
