Juhayna is the first Egyptian company to receive this award, after undergoing a sensory evaluation that includes visual, aromatic, flavor, and textural aspects, as well as final mouth feel. The evaluation process took place over 136 hours of blind tasting that was conducted on thousands of products from all over the world, with the aim of selecting the best among them.
Passant Fouad, Director of External Communications at Juhayna stated: “We are proud to receive this award, not only because it crowns our efforts in providing products with the highest levels of taste and quality to our consumers, but also reflects how Egyptian companies are able to provide products of competitive quality. This indeed puts us on the global map and strengthens our identity as one of the leading food and beverage companies. Having said that, Juhayna constantly works on improving the quality and taste of its products, while maintaining the characteristics that the Egyptian consumer is accustomed to in our product portfolio. That’s why we are always keen to provide 100% natural products without any additives.”

In addition, these products are periodically tested for quality, totaling almost 9000 tests per day, with a total of more than 3 million tests annually. The company is always keen to perform the above-mentioned in order to ensure the safety of its products and their compliance with the highest standards of quality and taste before it reaches the consumer.
