Biotechnology and Engineered Foods: ICFST will be partnering with the Illinois Department of Agriculture to present a half day seminar on the basics of genetically engineered ingredients and products.  This is an introductory level seminar targeted to food company management (Quality Assurance, Purchasing, Sales, upper level managers), that will address the questions and concerns that may occur in the day-to-day operation of a food manufacturing business.  Questions to be addressed include, "What is a modified food? How can modified ingredients benefit the consumer or my business? What are the benefits to society? How do things become 'modified'?"  The class will be held at the Illinois Center for Food Safety and Technology (ICFST).  Please email us at botos@iit.edu or call (708) 563-1578 to reserve your place.
