Speaking on the announcement, the editor of ESM: European Supermarket Magazine Stephen Wynne-Jones said, “With consumers feeling the pinch last year, retailer private labels have stepped up to the plate, offering products that are on a par with – or in some cases outmatch – their branded counterparts.”

Wynne-Jones continued, “This year's group of finalists was one of the strongest we have seen to date, reflecting the level of innovation taking place in grocery retail at present.”

The Awards

The European Private Label Awards were launched by ESM: European Supermarket Magazine in 2017, to determine the most impactful and innovative private-label brands on sale in Europe’s supermarkets.

The Awards, which are open to both retailers and suppliers, acknowledge the best of store brand development on a pan-European level.

The judging process for the Awards took place in Dublin, Ireland, with a panel of retail and culinary experts assessing each of the products in terms of three key criteria – taste, innovation and presentation – as well as other considerations, such as the sustainability credentials of each product.
