The UW Food Science Club consists of approximately 45 active undergraduate and graduate students. Members are from Food Science , Dairy Science, Psychology, Agricultural Engineering, Marketing/Agribusiness, Bacteriology, and other majors related to food. The food science club is an active chapter of the Institute of Food Technologists Student Association. Club members participate in the Product Development, College Bowl, and Undergraduate and Graduate Research Paper competitions organised by different scientific bodies and industry partners.

Members of the club are very active in both academic and extracurricular endeavors. The club's activities include the spring and fall picnics, football tailgates, tours of a winery, hayride through an apple orchard, ice cream socials, a wine and cheese student/faculty mixer, and the annual Halloween trick-or-treating.  In an effort to generate additional funds, members sponsor bake sales, volunteer to help with the annual Dairy Store Holiday Cheese Box Sale, proctor undergraduate food science exams, sell coupon books, and sell cookbooks. Club members have taken part in the Adopt-A-Block program, food drives, high school promotions, blood drives, and a prairie restoration project at the UW Arboretum. Each year we tour a variety of food processing facilities. Past trips to Minneapolis, MN and Chicago, IL have included tours of Pillsbury, Jelly Belly, Kraft, General Mills, and Cargill.
