FMI awards 10 scholarships for food safety improvementsThe Food Marketing Institute has awarded 10 scholarships to food and science majors in the US for academic pursuits to improve food safety and protect public health.

“The future of this profession is invaluable and promises to be one of the fastest-growing job functions in our industry,” said Cathy Polley, FMI vice president of health and wellness and executive director of the Foundation. “On behalf of the FMI Foundation, I’m pleased to recognize and support these dedicated students as they help our industry better provide safe, quality foods for shoppers.”
