Babcock Hall IcecreamThe UW Food Science Club consists of approximately 60 active undergraduate and graduate students. Members are from Food Science, Dairy Science, Agricultural Engineering, Marketing/Agribusiness, Microbiology, and other food related majors. The Food Science Club is an active chapter of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Student Association. Club members participate in Product Development, College Bowl, Undergraduate and Graduate Research Paper competitions organized by various scientific bodies and industry partners.

Members of the club are very active in both academic and extracurricular endeavors. Club activities include spring and fall picnics, winery tours, Holiday potlucks, wine and cheese student/faculty mixers, and industry presentations.  In an effort to generate additional funds, members sponsor bake sales, produce and sell the club-designed Bucky Puck ice cream sandwich, proctor undergraduate food science exams, sell Bucky Books, run the WIFT Silent Auction. Club members have volunteered at Madison area food pantries, coordinated high school presentations, participated in Salvation Army bell ringing, and are always looking for more ways to be involved. Each year we tour a variety of food processing facilities. Past trips have included tours of Pillsbury, Jelly Belly, Kraft, General Mills, and Oscar Mayer.
