TSC today (June 1) announced the results of the International Taste Institute (ITI) Superior Taste Award 2026, in which all four submitted products received recognition, earning a total of seven stars. This marks another strong performance following its 2024 debut, when TSC received seven stars across five products. This year’s awarded products include “Alkaline Water” (2 stars), “Grain and Bloom Cookies” (2 stars), “Tuna in Brine” (2 stars), and “Safety Pork Kaoliang Liquor Sausage” (1 star).
TSC’s participating Marketing Business Division said the awards span multiple product categories, including water, snacks, canned food, and processed meat products, demonstrating consistent quality across its diversified portfolio. All of these products are 100% made in Taiwan, underscoring that Taiwan is not only strong in semiconductors, but also highly competitive in locally produced foods.
TSC Marketing Business Division emphasized that the awarded products are everyday staples for individuals and families. From the clean and refreshing alkaline water, to nutrient-rich grain cookies, clean-label boiled tuna, and pork sausages infused with Kaoliang wine aroma, the products highlight authentic local flavors, quality ingredients, and trusted safety standards. Consumers are invited to purchase TSC products at TSC Million supermarkets, e-commerce platform Ego888, and major retail channels.
To celebrate its 80th anniversary, TSC is also running a promotional campaign offering multiple prizes, including a grand prize of five premium accommodation vouchers (featuring stays at Evergreen Plaza Hotel Tainan presidential suite, Taisugar Hotel, Taipei executive suite, and Liuying Jianshanpi Resort Moonlit Villa). The more purchases made, the higher the chance of winning.
Founded in 2005 in Belgium, the International Taste Institute (ITI), often referred to as the “Michelin Guide of the food industry,” evaluates food and beverage products through fully anonymized blind tastings conducted by an international panel of professional chefs and beverage experts. Products are assessed based on appearance, aroma, taste, texture, and overall impression using standardized sensory analysis criteria. The results are widely recognized and respected across the global food and beverage industry. A One-Star rating indicates an excellent product with strong flavor quality (70%-80%), while a Two-Star rating denotes an outstanding product with superior performance in its category (80%-90%).
