The work of a food technologist can range from developing recipes and modifying manufacturing processes to managing the safety and legality of food
As a food technologist, you'll work on developing and manufacturing food and drink products. Your main aims will be to make sure the products are safe to consume, made in an efficient way and meet specific regulations.
You may create new products and recipes or work on existing ones in order to improve or modify them in some way. This can include using newly-discovered ingredients, or making changes to create, for example, fat-free versions or to improve the shelf life of an item.
You'll often work closely with product development teams to help deliver factory-ready recipes, based on development kitchen samples. Keeping up with ever-changing food production regulations will be an essential part of your job.
Your tasks and focus may vary depending on where you work, which can include food and drink manufacturing companies, universities, research associations, retailers and local authorities.
