| IFST is the leading independent qualifying body for
food professionals
in Europe and the only
professional body
in the UK concerned with all aspects of
food science and technology
.
Founded in 1964 we were established to advance the science of 'food science and technology', its education and application, for the benefit, safety and health of the public.

Like medicine and other science disciplines (e.g. biology or chemistry) food science and technology is a profession. It covers a wide range of complex skills and disciplines and is based on a recognised body of learning.
Our members are drawn from all over the world from all ages and backgrounds including industry (manufacturing, retailing and food service), universities and schools, government, research and development, quality assurance and food law enforcement.
