Great Taste Awards 2024

Great Taste Awards 2024: We Did It!

We’re absolutely poppin’ with pride — PopCornaa won FOUR Great Taste Awards in 2024, the world’s most trusted food and drink “Oscars”.

The Great Taste Awards, run by the Guild of Fine Food, are the global benchmark for excellence in food and drink.

Every year, over 500 experts — including chefs, critics, buyers, and industry pros — blind-taste thousands of entries with no branding or packaging, judging purely on flavour, texture, and quality.

Only the top 25% earn a star, and less than 2% achieve the coveted 3-star status.

Out of more than 14,000 products entered, our bold, flavour-first popcorn rose to the top — earning awards across sweet, savoury, dairy, and vegan categories.

3-Star Winner

Seaweed, Wasabi & Soy (Dairy Free)

This one’s a mic-drop. Our bestselling Asian-inspired flavour scored the prestigious 3-star award, given to less than 2% of all entries.

It’s savoury, punchy, perfectly balanced — and completely plant-based.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Complex, punchy, and unlike anything else on the market.” – Great Taste Judges

2-Star Winner

Dairy Caramel
Our classic buttery caramel, slow-cooked to golden perfection. The judges loved its indulgent texture and rich, nostalgic taste.

⭐️⭐️ “Beautifully made. A benchmark for caramel popcorn.” – Great Taste Judges

1-Star Winners

Dairy Chocolate Orange
A comforting blend of smooth chocolate and bright orange zest. Think luxury Terry’s vibes in a popcorn bag.

Dairy Free Caramel
All the sweetness of our classic caramel — no dairy, no compromise. A treat you can feel good about.

⭐️ “Great balance of flavour and crunch.” – Great Taste Judges

From Our Founder,  Emily Tse

“I launched PopCornaa to reimagine popcorn — to take risks, to mix cultures, and to give snack lovers something bold and unforgettable. To win four awards in our first year… I’m honestly speechless.”
