How we did it
hirteen supermarkets entered their best Christmas products across 18 categories. All food was prepared and cooked (following pack instructions) by an independent home economist. Packaging was removed and judges tasted all items blind. Judges submitted comments and a score out of 10 for each product via anonymous judging forms. The process was overseen by an independent adjudicator. This year, we tested 185 different products to find the favourite in each category. We also awarded ‘highly commended’ status.
