Why people eat what they eat.
Consumers are becoming increasingly demanding in what they choose to eat:
low carb, vitamin enriched, fat-free, organic, sustainably produced, isotonic, carbon neutral, fortified, genetically modified, healthy... and then there’s flavor, safety, and affordability.
Finding out what people in different markets around the world want and then how to produce it and get it there in top condition is a real challenge for food producers!
That’s where Consumer Food Scientists come in. Their goal is to help turn product ideas into reality.
Consumer Food Science students learn about the technical, socio-economic, and psychological factors influencing food choice, food production, the subtle art of advertising, food labeling, and the regulatory environment.
