A food technologist, otherwise known as a food scientist, is someone who works in the food processing industry and works to help develop healthy, safe, and convenient food products. They continually work to develop better methods of food preservation, better processing and packaging procedures, better storage and even better delivery processes. They also research harmful food additives and develop substitutes in order to make sure foods are safe and healthy. Some work for the government to assist in food labeling, or to visit restaurants and food processing plants to make sure they meet sanitation codes and safety regulations. Most food technologists start off working in factories to observe routine procedures such as processing, packaging and delivering. After experience is gained in these basic fields, many processors will move on to work for bigger government agencies to perform bigger investigations on a governmental scale. This work is often for statewide health departments performing investigations on restaurants, bars and markets. Many technologists work in general factory positions in the beginning of their career, and then move on to larger corporations that give them a more specific job to perform.
