The best-kept secret: IUFoST revealed

The International Union of Food Science & Technology (IUFoST) was formally constituted during an International Congress in Washington, D.C., in 1970. Leaders of the Institute of Food Technologists have played important parts in its formation and subsequent development, notably George Stewart, who was its first Secretary General and later its President; Richard Hall, who served as its President and until recently was Chair of its Constitution Committee; and Owen Fennema, who served on its Executive Committee and for a time was Vice President.
