The CHOICE Expert Rating is made up of 90% sensory attributes (appearance/quality of finish 30%, flavour and aroma 25%, mixture quality 25%, moistness/texture 20%) and 10% nutrition (determined solely by the Health Star Rating).

Our experts tasted the Christmas puddings 'blind' (without knowing the brands) and assessed the puddings for appearance and quality of finish, moistness, flavour and aroma, texture, and quality of the mixture. The experts were looking for good shape; weight; balanced fruit, spice and alcohol flavours; even distribution of good-quality fruit ingredients; and puds that held their shape when cut.

This score is determined solely by the pudding's Health Star Rating.

Shop Ethical rates the environmental and social impact of the company (not the product) using independent sources. This rating is not included in our total score. N/A means there is no rating for that company.
