Record entry for Ecotrophelia


Contestants from the 2014 Ecotrophelia contest

Student teams from Cardiff Metropolitan University, University of Nottingham, PepsiCo and Leeds Trinity University are competing at the final of Ecotrophelia UK - an annual competition to encourage food technologists of tomorrow to think creatively.


This year saw record entries, so the competition was high. They were carefully reviewed and shortlisted by a panel of industry experts. The teams pitched their ideas to the "dragons" - a distinguished panel of food experts including representatives from M&S, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Defra, Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Warburtons - to compete for £3,500 in prize money and the chance to represent the UK at Ecotrophelia Europe in October.
