Food Chemistry and Processing Pathway

The Food Chemistry and Processing Pathway provides students with the opportunity to explore the food they eat through labs and conducting sensory evaluations on their creations. 

People who work in the Food Products and Processing Systems pathway discover new food sources, analyze food content, and develop ways to process, preserve, package, or store food according to industry and government regulations. They create new food products to meet consumer needs and inspect food-processing areas to ensure that sanitation, safety, quality, and waste management standards are met.
