  2. What Is It? • A food scientist can study many different aspects of food. These subjects include: chemistry, analysis, microbiology, engineering, process control, and functional foods. You work in a lab environment. Depending on what you specialize in you may be creating a new food or coming up with a way to replace a food with a chemical to prevent allergic reactions. It is a very hands on and interactive job. Food science is a great area to use creativity and take risks.

  3. THE FUTURE! • Every day children are born and new allergies come along. It is up to a food scientist to make sure those kids still have a vast menu of foods to choose from. Plus people are always looking for a new food to try. This career has a wide outlook.

  5. Education • To be a food scientist you need a minimum of 4 years of college. If you want to specialize or get more money you can keep going for 2-4 more years. Many colleges offer this major. However, the best college to attend in Missouri is Mizzou.

  6. THE DAY AND THE LIFE • During the day a food scientist spends their time in the lab. They work with many different chemicals and substances.

However, like I said before it is a very hands on job.
