Program overview
The Food Safety and Testing program teaches you how to use scientific methods to ensure the food we eat is safe and reliable. You'll study foundational theories like food chemistry, microbiology, and toxicology, and master modern testing techniques such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and PCR. Core courses include Food Analysis, Food Safety Control, and Food Regulations & Standards. This major is ideal for detail-oriented, responsible students with a passion for lab work. Chinese universities offer strong practical resources in this field—many have national-level food safety testing labs and arrange internships at major food companies or testing institutions.
