Recognising SA's favourite food and beverage producers

Do you have a favourite South Australian food or beverage brand? The one that's always in your shopping trolley, on your table or in your fridge?

Now's your chance to help them earn the recognition they deserve.

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.

This category celebrates South Australian food and beverage businesses that have earned strong customer loyalty through quality products, great service, and a lasting community presence.

Please Note: One vote per Australian resident is allowed. 2025 winners, feather&PECK and Beerenberg, are unable to enter this year, so please pick another fabulous SA food or beverage producer to vote for!
