  • Vos edged the snert title after scores of 181 to 180.5 triggered a blind re-taste; former champion Robin van der Laan finished second.
  • Jacqueline Beverdam’s vegan snert took third place, reflecting growing openness to innovative recipes within the traditional field.
  • In the stamppot category, Jan Veenma won, Van der Laan was runner-up, and snert champion Vos placed third.
