The Certified Food Scientist (CFS) Credential

Food science plays a vital role in bringing the world its food supply. To meet increasing global demand, professionals working within the food system must be up-to-date on the most recent science and technology advancements, and possess the knowledge and skills that enable them to deliver safe, quality food to consumers.

We are committed to ensuring that food science―and food scientists―are both recognized and acknowledged. In doing so, we have created the Certified Food Scientist (CFS) credential―a certification program recognizing the applied scientific knowledge and skills of food scientists.
