On episode 47 of the FoodGrads Podcast we interviewed Valerie Ivanova, R&D Nutrition Label Developer and Coordinator at Ventura Foods. Ventura Foods is a leading national manufacturer and marketer of branded and custom made shortenings, oils, dressings, sauces, margarines, culinary bases and pancoatings for the foodservice and retail industries.
In this episode Valerie told us more about her role at Ventra foods and how she approaches creating a nutritional label for a completed food product. What’s interesting about Valerie’s career journey so far was that she actually graduated at the time the COVID-19 was just emerging in Canada of March 2020.
Valerie was busy throughout her undergraduate degree at McGill university graduating with a double major and voluterring with student society so Veronica dug more into that decision of why she made that decision and how it helped her in the long run. We also had fun talking about her participation in the Snacks for Kids IFT competition and the really cool snack her team designed. Stay tuned if you want some insights into that process.
