Judging the FPA Awards

The FPA Awards were established to celebrate best practice within the foodservice packaging industry and, as such, are driven by the foodservice packaging industry.

We involve our members in the Award winner selection process for the majority of our awards – with the exception of two Awards which require hands-on evaluation. These two Awards are judged by an independent panel of foodservice industry experts.
