Students participated in a 4 week summer (2014) program hosted by Alabama A&M University, which emphasized Food Science (Food Microbiology, Food Product development, HACCP).  Students were given hands-on experience through the process of product development to learn basic food safety and principles of HACCP. They were taken through the steps in product development, studied shelf life, and were given hands-on experiences in microbial enumeration and plate counts.
