    Food engineering is engineering in the food industry, so like developing and streamlining manufacturing, developing new packaging, that sort of thing.

    • Also development of preservation and preparation techniques.

      To that extent: pringles are pressed potato powder. Because it meets the need of a chip that is easily and precisely formed, easily preserved and falls apart with little pressure.

      To describe fast food and highly processed junk foods as anything but engineered does a disservice to the word “engineering”.
