Hungary wins Ecotrophelia Europe competition

A team from the Corvinus University of Budapest in Hungary has won top prize in the Europe-wide Ecotrophelia competition. They qualified by winning the national competition in Hungary, which is run by Campden BRI Hungary. Along with national winners from 15 other countries across the continent, they presented their visionary food creation before a panel of industrial jury members at the Milan Universal Expo in October.

Their product was called VeSage - sliceable vegetable-based cold cuts of high nutritional value - and was selected as the product that best met the criteria of a novel product designed for industrial production and Europe-wide distribution.

The UK heat of the competition took place at Campden BRI on Campden BRI Day in June, in front of an audience of 500 senior industrialists.
