Celebrating SA's favourite food and beverage producers

Support from the public is very important to our state's food and beverage manufacturers and producers, making the Consumer Choice Award, sponsored by Foodland Supermarkets, one of the most highly anticipated categories in the South Australian Premier's Food and Beverage Industry Awards program. The Consumer Choice Award lets South Australians decide!

Voting opens on Monday 28 July 2025 - Check back here for more information.

  • Winners are determined by public vote via the voting platform (one per person/email address allowed).

    Any South Australian food or beverage manufacturer or producer is eligible.

    A business can be nominated by a member of the public or they can vote for themselves. You don’t have to be a resident of South Australia to vote.

    Two Consumer Choice Awards are presented each year, one for businesses with up to 15 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff and one for businesses with more than 15 Full Time Equivalent staff. Restaurants, cafes, retailers, food service and wine businesses are not eligible for this award.

    Winners of the Consumer Award in 2024 are not eligible for nomination in 2025 (Haigh’s Chocolates and Mike’s Beef Jerky); The Consumer Choice Award Legends for Life are no longer eligible for nomination (Menz and Golden North Ice Cream).

  • All Australians are eligible to vote for their favourite South Australian food or beverage producer brand during the voting period.

  • South Australian food and beverage manufacturers and producers aren't required to register to participate in the South Australian Premier's Food and Beverage Industry Awards - Consumer Choice Award category.

    Simply promote the 'Vote Now' link to your database of customers or followers, encouraging them to vote for your business/brand.

    The Consumer Choice Award operates through a single round of online voting, with the winners determined by the number of votes received. Every business has a fair chance, and that's why we encourage active promotion of the award within your networks. 

    We will soon provide a link to the voting platform as well as a Dropbox folder of digital campaign assets to assist you with your campaign.
