About the A.A. Taste Awards

A.A. Taste Awards, presented by the Anti Additive Association (A.A.), is the leading international award honoring excellence in additive-free food. Most people have the wrong impression of additive-free products being less appetizing. Under the rigorous premise that no additives were added to the production process, these recipients and candidates managed to deliver quality, healthy and tasty food. Not only is the cost higher, the preparation is much more complicated. Therefore, the A.A. would like to recognize the effort these restaurants and organizations have made to call for a more conscious food system. Learn more about the A.A.
