Hello all,
Most of you here are quite experienced, with many years in food industry so thanks in advance for posting your opinion. I have a question about in-house laboratories.
I am a Food Science&Technology M.Sc. student just starting in my program, but I'm already doing some research on employment opportunities in my city. After I graduate I would like to work in a lab that does simple (routine) chem/microbiology food analysis. I am therefore considering in-house labs of food processing plants. The questions I have are:
Does every big food processing plant (>100 employees) have an in-house laboratory for chemical/microbiological tests? In our city most of the big plants are either meat, milk, or beverage product manufacturers.
Is it a requirement to have such laboratory or not (I'm in Canada)?
How can you tell if there is an internal lab in a particular food plant?
Do I have a right as a consumer to call/email them and ask if they have an in-house lab where all the tests are done? Would you respond if you were the person receiving such an inquery?
How can you get a job in such laboratory? Can I volunteer while still in my m.sc. program?
Thank you all.
