Contest of Culturally and Religiously Compliant Products 2025
Kosher Product Competition

JUDGING PROCESS

ROUND ONE: Preliminary Evaluation
In the first round, entries are reviewed and ranked in a closed, online system based on the submitted documentation.
In each category, the bottom 30% of entries based on this ranking will not advance to the second round.

ROUND TWO: Final Evaluation
All eligible products are evaluated by the jury using a point-based system.
During the judging process, the expert panel assesses the products through sensory evaluation along with a review of the submitted documentation. Products are scored based on taste, flavor harmony, aroma, texture, and composition, compared against the information provided in the product specification sheets.

Packaging is also evaluated, considering factors such as clarity and accuracy of information and labels, visibility, practicality, and design. Additionally, the jury considers the product’s social impact or usefulness.
Each aspect is scored individually by the jury members on a scale of 1 to 10. The final list of award-winning products is determined based on the total aggregated scores.

The jury may create additional subcategories within the main competition categories to reflect the diversity of entries, or it may reassign a product to a more appropriate category.
Depending on the overall quality of submissions, the jury may award multiple prizes in a single category or present special awards for products with outstanding or noteworthy features. However, the jury also reserves the right to withhold awards in any category.

In case of any disputes, the final decision rests with the Chair of the Jury.
