Recognised as a stamp of excellence and actively sought out by food lovers and retailers alike, Great Taste, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, values taste above all else.

All products in the line-up for judging are blind tasted: every product is removed from its packaging so it cannot be identified, before entering a robust, layered judging process.

This year, judging took place over 89 days in Dorset and London, with a panel of more than 500 judges putting the products to the test. The line-up saw food and drink products submitted from an extraordinary 109 different countries across the world.

Manuka honey could be used in masks or personal protective equipment for troops.

Manuka honey has been hailed as the golden superfood said to ward off colds, heal wounds and banish sore throats. Now scientists at Porton Down plan to harness its antibacterial qualities by creating a manuka gas mask that could be crucial in defending against airborne biological and chemical attacks.

Ben Wallace, the Defence Secretary, has lodged a patent application that reveals the honey could be used to “capture and neutralise” poisonous toxins, chemicals and viruses.

The Cricketer

England cricketer Moeen Ali sustained a horrible blister during the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston in June, but is back in the fold after using a special manuka lotion suggested by an NHS worker.

"I got home after the Edgbaston Test and a few days later I got a letter from a lady who said her husband is a big fan of mine," he told BBC Sport.

"They were watching and saw the gash on my finger and thought the medi-honey would really help me. I tried it and it really healed my finger straight away."
