Scotland is searching for a Top Brand product of beef, lamb or pork
The contest is part of the Scotland Food & Drink 2018 Excellence Awards 2018 and will showcase the skill, innovation and enterprise of local producers on 7 June 2018 in Edinburgh.
"Last year Aldi was awarded Scotch Brand Product of the Year for their fantastic Specially Selected Scotch 30 Day Matured Aberdeen Angus Sirloin Steak. This year we look forward to being able to recognize another exceptional product from a business which retails Scotch brand products with pride and commitment", mentioned Alan Clarke, Chief Executive of QMS.
The taste will be the primary criteria for selection followed by traceability, assurance and welfare standards, specified Clarke. For products to qualify for the Scotch Brand Product of the Year they must be made from Scotch Beef PGI, Scotch Lamb PGI or Specially Selected Pork, be quality assured and, as part of his, have been sourced from cattle/lambs/pigs born, reared and processed in Scotland.
In the contest will enter products from roasts, steaks and products which have a 100% meat content to products which use Scotch Beef PGI, Scotch Lamb PGI or Specially Selected Pork as ingredients. For the latter, the rules of competition require a minimum meat content of 25%.
