A Career in Food Tech

Food technologists use science and engineering laws to produce, process, evaluate, package, and distribute foods. They may concentrate on basic research, product development, quality control, processing, packaging, labelling, technical sales, or market research. Food technologists also monitor and develop new food products and work with production engineers to produce consistent flavour, colour, and texture in large quantities. According to industry and government specifications and regulations, food technologists may develop ways to process, preserve, package, or store food. They may work in production or technical management. They check on food standards, laws, and safety. They also look into sanitation, water supply and waste management.
