he winners of the Scottish Retail Food & Drink Awards 2021 were announced last Thursday. The annual awards celebrate the wide variety of quality food and drink products locally produced in Scotland and have one clear focus: to get more of Scotland’s fantastic food and drink products onto more Scottish retail shelves. The awards are unusual in encompassing the entire producer and retailer spectrums from the smallest retailers and artisan producers to the largest supermarkets and global brands. The only criteria were that the products had to be produced and marketed in Scotland.

SCOTTISH RETAIL FOOD & DRINK AWARDS 2021 Unusually, the awards also place a key focus on the convenience channel in Scotland, aiming to help local retailers capitalise on growing demand for locally, regionally and nationally sourced products. Thule Ventus Salt Cod Pate from the Shetland Islands and Fife’s Lunun Gin were among the biggest winners on the day, each securing a coveted Platinum Small Producer prize.
