Our Food Technologists at the Food Technology Centre in
Llangefni, Anglesey, have immersed themselves in around 80 innovative
research and development (R&D)
projects.
The centrepiece of our facilities is the suite of three superb production halls – meat, dairy and prepared foods – packed with state-of-the-art equipment. This is backed-up by an analytical and product characterisation laboratory. And of course in the food industry the proof of the pudding is in the eating – the centre is also home to a test/development kitchen where our chefs apply the finishing touches to the newly developed foods!
Although our main focus is on food R&D projects, training and education is also vitally important. The centre offers many courses, including those leading to nationally recognised qualifications (up to HND level). A number of CIEH courses are also offered covering subjects such as food hygiene, risk assessment and manual handling, as well as a range of specialist courses covering food product development and quality management systems.
