Students are required to be in a room, monitored by someone who is NOT
providing the direct instruction for the certification, except under extremely limited conditions.
If only one individual is approved by IFSEA as a proctor, then the teacher of the material may
proctor the exams and must be independently monitored by a second individual who does not
provide direct instruction for the certification content to the individuals taking the test.



There are 932 questions in the Classmarker databank, spread across 9 GFI tests and 4 IFSEA
tests. Most of the tests these questions came from have 80 questions, two have 150 questions.
Those questions came from this bank of questions, which were not changed at all, the same
questions reside on one of the 8 other subjects that GFI and IFSEA use. With our experience
about what you need to “know, be and do,” we selected from the data bank questions in 5
subjects – food safety, food service management, customer service, culinary nutrition and
culinary. There are 16 questions in each of those areas. The test was recently updated,
keeping in mind what would be good things for someone new or fairly new to our industry to
know.



In order to provide the teachers with the material to provide the 150 hours of training required, we will
provide them with the PowerPoint slide shows for each of the 5 testing areas. For adults, each
of those takes 6 to 8 hours of training, a full day. The teachers can pick out of this information,
what information they would like to use. We will also provide the shorter (90 or so slides) slide
show which is more test specific. We also have a spreadsheet indicating on that short version,
where the questions are answered, which will help the teachers to cover the broad subject
matter to be taught, being sure to cover the specific questions as well.

Question: 68
Sarah is making pasta salad for a school picnic. How should she cool the cooked
pasta before using it in the salad?
A. By placing the pasta in the refrigerator
B. By placing the pasta in an ice-water bath
C. By leaving it on the kitchen counter until it cools
D. Any of these methods is safe
Answer: B
Sarah should cool the pasta for her pasta salad by placing it in an ice-water bath.
Cooked food must cool from 135F to below 70F within the first 2 hours of
cooling time. Pathogens grow faster in this temperature range. Food then has four
hours to safely cool from 70F to below 41F. Hot pasta placed in the refrigerator
may not cool fast enough to prevent the growth of pathogens.
Question: 69
Which of the following is a safe method for handling ice used for service?
A. Scooping ice from ice machine with a serving glass
B. Using bare hands to scoop ice from ice machine
C. Storing the ice scoop inside the ice machine
D. None of the above methods is safe
Answer: D
None of the above methods is safe for handling ice used for service. Ice should
only be removed from the ice machine using a clean sanitized scoop that is only
used for handling ice. The ice scoop should be stored in a protected location
outside the ice machine. Never use hands or a serving glass to scoop ice from the
ice machine.
Question: 70
For an IPM program to be successful, what must pests be denied?
A. Food and water
B. Access to the building
C. A safe hiding place
D. All of the above
Answer: D
For an IPM program to be successful, pests must be denied food and water, access
to the building and a safe hiding place. Keeping pests out of your operation is
easier than eliminating an infestation. A PCO can work with you to make the
operation less attractive to pests.
Question: 71
When receiving raw frozen fish shipped on ice, how should you check the
temperature of the fish?
A. By checking the ice temperature
B. By inserting a thermometer into the fish
C. By inserting a thermometer under the fish
D. By wrapping a frozen fish around the thermometer
Answer: B
When receiving raw frozen fish shipped on ice, you should check the temperature
of the fish by inserting a thermometer into the fish. You should insert the
thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish is not frozen properly, the
shipment should be rejected.
Question: 72
The container that raw shucked shellfish is shipped in should be labeled with the
packers name, address and what other piece of information?
A. Website address
B. Phone number
C. Certification number
D. All of the above
Answer: C
The container that raw shucked shellfish is shipped in should be labeled with the
packers name, address and certification number. This label indicates to the
receiver that the shellfish is from a reliable source. If the label information is
missing or incomplete, the shipment should not be accepted.
Question: 73
How long does sushi-grade fish need to be frozen at -4F?
A. At least 15 hours
B. At least 24 hours
C. At least 4 hours
D. At least 1 hour
Answer: B
Sushi-grade fish needs to be frozen at -4F for at least 24 hours. Sushi-grade fish
has specific handling instructions to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. The fish
supplier is required to provide records of the freezing process to ensure the fish
was handled safely.
Question: 74
Cliff is always looking for ways to work more efficiently. While receiving his
restaurants food shipment, he decides to prop open the freezer door. Is this a
good idea?
A. Yes, food will be moved to the freezer faster.
B. No, propping the door open will lower the freezer temperature.
C. No, the propped open door is a trip hazard.
D. Yes, the receiving area will be cooled by the open door.
Answer: B
While Cliff is receiving his restaurants food shipment, it is a bad idea to prop
open the freezer door because the open door will lower the freezer temperature.
The freezer door should be firmly closed between trips in and out of the freezer.
Cold air curtains can be added if keeping the door closed is not enough to
maintain freezer temperature.

Learning to Love What Nourishes My Son

For me, the most important thing about the holidays is food. I love cooking almost as much as I love eating. For Thanksgiving, I cook turkey. For Christmas, prime rib. And the stars of the show are the side dishes: green beans, mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and, of course, pie. As a mother, when I serve my family food, it isn’t just food—it represents love.

But that perception was challenged when my son, James, was born with medically intensive disabilities. I wanted my son to have a positive relationship with food, even though he is fed through a tube. To do that, I had to tackle my own emotional baggage about what it means to feed my family.

James’ relationship with food is complicated. He was tube fed for most of his early life, first with formula, and later with food processed in a blender. Now, at age 12, he gets about half of his calories from food and relies on Pediasure—vitamin-fortified formula—to get enough calories. For years, I felt guilty about the Pediasure. Every can made me feel like I was failing to give him “real” food. It took me years to accept that food doesn’t have a moral value. Feeding your child easily digestible food so they get adequate nutrition isn’t a weakness. Food doesn’t have to be a source of joy. It can simply be a source of nourishment.

This isn’t so much a story about how my son learned to eat as it is a story about how I came to terms with how he eats. The fact that my son hated food from a young age because his disabilities made the act of eating painful and scary made every mealtime hard. And for the longest time, I blamed myself.

Guilt in the NICU

In my rational mind, I know that I’m a good mother. But maternal guilt—especially around dietary choices—is common. My guilt around feeding started when my son was in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). I wanted to breastfeed. I’d memorized the adage “breast is best,” especially for the tiniest and sickest babies. I had breastfed my older child and easily transitioned to pumping when I went back to work. But the stress of pumping for a NICU baby was overwhelming. The hospital where my son spent most of his first year was a three-hour drive from our home. When I arrived at the hospital, I was desperate to see him, but I had to go to the pumping room instead. I couldn’t hold my own baby, and he couldn’t cry because of the tubes down his throat. So I played YouTube videos of babies crying to try and trigger the letdown reflex. It didn’t work. I could never release enough milk.

In my rational mind, I knew I wasn’t failing my son. All his medical needs were being met, and he was growing. But the decision to stop pumping and feed my son formula was hard. I felt so much pressure to keep pumping. It didn’t help that my son rejected every normal formula and had to be fed expensive specialty formula directly into his small intestines because of near-constant vomiting.

A Tube-Feeding Odyssey

During the early years, tube feeding solved a problem. My son was tiny and sick. To get better, he had to grow. To do that, he needed calories.

But tube feeding also created problems. My son had severe oral aversion—anything that touched his mouth triggered his gag reflex. He wouldn’t take a bottle or a pacifier or even put his fingers in his mouth. That meant he missed out on forming the neural-motor connections that pave the way for eating and speaking.

As a pathological overachiever, I didn’t want to just tube feed my child. I wanted to be the best at tube feeding. As we struggled to find a formula that worked, my son’s doctor suggested a blended-food diet but didn’t provide much guidance on how to do it. I started with baby food, then slowly started blending normal food and putting it through the tube. Through trial and error, I figured out the best, most calorically dense and nutritionally complete blended diet. The whole family worked to blend a month’s worth of food, made from bananas, carrots, spinach, eggs, and flax seed.

All the work I put into blending food was important for my son’s health—and my mental health. Having normal food in his stomach solved James’ constant vomiting and made the process of feeding him somewhat more normal. At a meal, everyone else would eat food from a plate and he would have blended food through the tube to his stomach. For me, making blended food instead of just opening a can and pouring it into the feeding pump made me feel like I was doing my job as a mom.

Learning to Eat

Swallowing involves about 50 tiny muscles in the mouth, tongue, and throat. Dysphagia is when something goes wrong in that process. Treating dysphagia in a medically fragile baby who’s never eaten and can’t understand detailed instructions is incredibly difficult.

There are formal therapy programs that are supposed to help children like my son learn to eat. But there aren’t enough speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists who specialize in children, especially those with special health care needs. Our local hospital had feeding therapists with special training in medically complex children. But their program had a years-long waitlist. Feeding therapy teaches children to overcome their aversion to tastes and textures by breaking down the process of chewing and swallowing food into small steps the child can practice.

There was another barrier to getting feeding therapy. My son needed to pass a swallow study (a medical test to make sure the things he swallowed went to his stomach and not his lungs). But he couldn’t pass a swallow study because he didn’t know how to swallow. The system wasn’t set up to work, so it fell to me to fix it.

To get my son to eat, I had to help him overcome his oral aversion. To do that, I tried to present him with different kinds of food to eat consistently and without pressure. I did OK with consistency, but I put pressure both on him and on myself. Our parent-child dynamic worked with mobility and speech because he wanted to move and communicate. The dynamic fell apart with food because he didn’t want to eat. The textures, tastes, and physical skills needed were overwhelming for him, and so was the pressure I put on him.

In the end, it was Pediasure that started my son’s journey toward enjoying food. One day, he discovered the taste of Pediasure from chewing a hole in his feeding pump line when he was teething. He became willing to eat vanilla Pediasure. He didn’t have the oral skills to suck on a bottle or drink from a cup, but the feeding pump could deliver a few drops of formula into his mouth at a time in a way that didn’t scare him.

Breakthroughs

As he grew, James alternated between hating food and wanting to participate in the thing everybody else was doing. He was particularly obsessed with frozen yogurt shops. He would be so excited to pull the yogurt handle and scoop the toppings that he would promise to eat it. Then he would get his perfect, beautiful frozen yogurt and cry. It was heartbreaking. Until one day, at age 4, he took his first bite of frozen yogurt. It was a single bite, and he didn’t like it, but it was a really big deal.

I pinned all my hopes on an inpatient feeding program at Children’s Hospital of Orange County, a five-hour drive from where we live in California’s Central Valley. The program is the only one of its kind in California and is created specifically for medically complex children who didn’t learn to eat as babies. My son went through the program the summer after kindergarten. Usually, kids stay with their parent in a special room that is set up to feel more like home than a hospital, but my son had to sleep in the ICU because of his ventilator. Those were the hardest three weeks of my life because it was all about food and it was all out of my control. In reality, it had always been out of my control.

The inpatient program worked enough to be considered a success. When my son entered the program he could only eat a single graham cracker. He left the program able to eat a white-bread-and-American-cheese sandwich with the crusts cut off. It took him about half an hour to do that. However, eating food was physically exhausting for the muscles in his jaws and he still needed to chug a Pediasure for concentrated calories.

I still felt like a failure. Now, instead of nutritionally and calorically perfect blended food in his tube, he was living on Pediasure and graham crackers. He knew how to eat, but it was a Pyrrhic victory because now every mealtime was a battle of wills. He was willing to eat food, but he resented it and physically struggled with each bite. Meanwhile I was genuinely afraid that he wasn’t consuming enough calories to live. That fear wasn’t in my head. Medically fragile kids are frequently underweight, because being sick all the time burns a ton of calories. At every medical appointment, James was weighed and I was tasked with figuring out a way for him to eat more and gain more weight.  

It turned out that vegetarian food was key to getting him to eat more.  Meat and other protein-dense foods are harder to chew and swallow than starchy foods. Vegetarian entrées like beans and tofu were easier for him to manage, with the side benefit of being healthy for the rest of the family. He started to enjoy trips to the farmers market, and could eat a few bites of whatever he chooses (and wash it down with Pediasure).

I wish I could say there was something I did that made him turn the corner, but I think it was just time. After a couple years of seeing eating as a chore, James got good enough at it to start actually enjoying some foods. That was always my goal: I didn’t want him to just eat food, I wanted him to love food.

The process was a learning experience for me. I had to relax and let him progress at his own pace. I had to understand that even when he loves a new food, he still needs to rely on “safe” and easy foods for most of his calories. Plain communication also helped. If James doesn’t like a lasagna I’ve made, for example, he’ll tell me.

These days, my son doesn’t love all the holiday foods, but he does eat the things he likes. He skips the Halloween candy because it has too many weird textures, but he enjoys trick-or-treating. For Thanksgiving he’ll eat a few bites of anything as long as it’s covered in gravy. During Christmas season, there is one dessert he adores: vanilla meringue cookies that are soft enough to melt in your mouth. His palate may not be expansive, but for me the most important thing is that he’s finally able to find joy in food. That’s all I ever wanted for him.

Where Food Comes From, Inc. Acquires Upcycled Certified® Program as Reducing Food Waste Through Upcycling Becomes Fastest Growing Consumer Trend

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., Dec. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF) (Nasdaq: WFCF), the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced it has acquired the Upcycled Certified® Program from the Upcycled Food Association.

Upcycled Certified, the world’s first and largest provider of certification for upcycled food, has emerged as a dynamic force that is reshaping the way manufacturers valorize all parts of the food chain and avoid food waste. Upcycled Certified is now one of the fastest-growing certification seals in the food industry, providing consumers a tangible solution to shop sustainably. There are currently 93 companies with more than 480 products certified to the standard, including leading Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies such as Del Monte and Kerry Ingredients. These products are responsible for diverting an average of 390,000 tons of food waste annually since the Program’s launch less than three years ago.

The acquisition comes at a time when upcycling is gaining in relevance and popularity. Over the last three years upcycling consistently tops food trends lists, including Food Tank, Kroger, Forbes and Whole Foods Market. Data from retail insights firm SPINs show that 51% of consumers are more likely to buy a product identified as Upcycled Certified, signifying significant consumer acceptance and demand.

“The upcycled food movement is closely aligned with broader sustainability trends in the United States and around the world,” said John Saunders, chairman and CEO of Where Food Comes From. “This acquisition enables Where Food Comes From to meet growing consumer demand for products that contain upcycled food ingredients. As the exclusive certification body for the standard since early 2021 – and as the most diverse food verification body in the country with more than 17,000 customers – we are ideally suited to take Upcycled Certified to the next level of growth. Our first order of business following the ownership transition will be to make it easier and more cost effective for brands, grocery retailers and foodservice operators to engage with the standard, ultimately expanding the offering of upcycled products and making it easier for consumers to eat well and be a part of the food waste solution. Our long-term objective is to make Upcycled Certified a ubiquitous standard and a meaningful component of our overall revenue mix.”

Angie Crone, CEO of the Upcycled Food Association (UFA), added, “UFA is thrilled that Upcycled Certified has become part of the Where Food Comes From family of certifications. Given the scale of the food waste crisis, growing demands on our natural resources, and increasing food insecurity, we need to work collaboratively and as quickly as possible to transform our food system into one where food is valued and never wasted. Due to its high profile in the food verification industry, we believe WFCF is the ideal partner to help further our mission to accelerate the upcycled food movement for impact at scale.”

The Upcycled Standard, developed by the Upcycled Food Association, is designed to reduce food waste by promoting the upcycled food economy. Upcycled products use ingredients that have full nutritional value and are safe but for various reasons would have gone to waste. Operators that grow, produce, manufacture, process, and trade in food, beverages and other food-related products are eligible to apply for Upcycled Certified. These operators must demonstrate that ingredients they handle have been procured and produced using verifiable supply chains.

According to Project Drawdown, decreasing food waste is the number one solution to reducing the need for land and resources used to produce food as well as the greenhouse gases released in the process. Yet, in the U.S. alone an estimated 40% of all food grown annually is unsold or uneaten. ReFED, a leading food waste research organization, estimates that the U.S. has 80 million tons of food that is wasted annually with a financial loss of $310 billion.

Upcycled products in the US marketplace include food and beverages, dietary supplements, pet food, cosmetics, personal care products, and household cleaners. A Future Market Insights report estimates the value of the upcycled food industry to be more than $46 billion and growing.

Wed, 03 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0600 en-us text/html https://www.msn.com/ Food science and technology alum finds success in food and drink industry

Kimi Votaw ’20 developed a passion for food science at a young age. As a child, she watched cooking shows, then begged her mother to show her how to make foods and snacks.  

“I really started taking an interest in the science behind food when I discovered the show Good Eats with Alton Brown,” Votaw said. “The way he explained so clearly the science behind what was happening while cooking enthralled me, and I would watch that show as often as I could.”

Later, Votaw gravitated toward the sciences in school, yet the prospect of a career in food science didn’t initially cross her mind until her father pointed it out.  

“After looking into it, food science sounded like everything I could’ve wanted in a career, so I found the program and Texas A&M and dove right in,” she said. 

Votaw as an udergraduate 

Votaw was a reserved and soft-spoken undergraduate student in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Food Science and Technology, but her scientific curiosity and strong desire to learn about the food and flavor industry made her a standout, said Stephen Talcott, Ph.D., professor of food chemistry in the department.

“Kimi had incredible curiosity about food and agriculture along with exceptional leadership abilities,” Talcott said. “She grew tremendously during her time at Texas A&M and became more confident in herself and her abilities, becoming a student leader and a top academic student.”

Votaw graduated in January of 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in food science and technology, focusing on food microbiology.

Finding the right food science technician

In early 2020, Greg Berndt, CEO of ClearMask USA, a food flavor and flavor masking company based in Moxee, Washington, sought a leader for the company’s research and development efforts. He approached Talcott at an annual food technologist provider exposition in Frisco for suggestions, and Talcott recommended some top candidates, one of whom was Votaw.

“I come to Texas each year for the expo,” said Berndt. “This gives me the opportunity to interact with industry people as well as Texas A&M food science students.”

After phone and in-person interviews with Votaw, Berndt knew he had found the right person. 

“Kimi was whip smart and I knew she took her lessons from Texas A&M to heart,” he said. “But as importantly, I saw she had the critical thinking skills and creativity I felt we needed in order to develop and craft solutions for the food and beverage industry.”  

Berndt said Votaw also showed her ability to apply the technical lessons acquired during her undergraduate studies and demonstrated the personality traits and “soft skills” needed to effectively engage with both colleagues and customers.

Applying food science lessons learned at work

Having been with ClearMask USA for nearly four years, Votaw leverages the lessons she learned about food processing, chemistry, microbiology, engineering and food product development at Texas A&M to address critical taste and aroma challenges for food companies across the U.S.     

Reflecting on her education, she said one of the most valuable lessons she learned in food science and technology at Texas A&M was the importance of experimentation.

“During our lab time in classes, we were encouraged to design our own small experiments along the way and try them out,” she said. “We had ample opportunities for undergraduate research or extracurricular product development projects. We were always encouraged to think outside the box and to attempt to create things. That hands-on experience with creative thinking made working a product development job a lot easier, especially one that requires a lot of problem-solving, like mine.”

She acknowledged the influential role of instructors such as Talcott, Rebecca Creasy, Ph.D., Matthew Taylor, Ph.D., Peter Murano, Ph.D. and Elsa Murano, Ph.D., crediting them as the educators who influenced her the most during her academic journey.  

Votaw’s work at ClearMask USA 

From the start, Votaw’s primary roles with ClearMask USA have been as director of research and development and director of quality assurance.

For the research and development side, she analyzes trends in the food industry to pinpoint potential new products for the company. She then researches new ingredients and combinations and engages in product development.  

On the quality side, she is responsible for maintaining and creating all documentation for each product, including nutrition facts and specification sheets. She oversees the company’s food safety plan, fields customer inquiries and vets the raw ingredients for product development.

“ClearMask USA primarily does research into flavor modification and flavor masking,” Votaw said. “We look for new compounds and ingredients that can help us target specific ‘off notes’ in foods. Our focus on flavor modifiers helps us tailor solutions specifically for newer functional ingredients to use in the food world.”

Some of her previous projects have involved strategies to mask bitterness in coffee, enhance the sweetness of energy beverages and conceal the taste of collagen-based dietary supplements.

Votaw’s latest work is to modify flavors in theacrine and ashwagandha. She is also working on creating a sweetener blend with a newer high-intensity sweetener that balances flavors seamlessly, providing a more natural sugar taste experience.

She said customers frequently submit product for improvement, presenting her with opportunities to experiment with how to enhance them.

“Because I have a wide range of responsibilities, I am frequently able to work on something exciting that I might not have done before, so it gives me a chance to continue learning,” she said. “I also love getting the opportunity to solve problems for our customers.”

Ongoing collaboration with Texas A&M

Since joining Clear Mask USA, Votaw has returned to the Texas A&M campus several times to collaborate with Department of Food Science and Technology faculty and students. Together, they have helped solve taste and aroma issues for products already on the market, as well as newly developed foods that have not yet hit the shelves.

Most recently, Talcott collaborated with Votaw and ClearMask USA to develop a zero-calorie antioxidant-enhanced flavored water that recently debuted on the retail market.

“Although Kimi is a former student, she has independently gained a tremendous amount of knowledge on her own while working in the food industry,” Talcott said. “Now I consider her a valuable resource and subject matter expert in flavor applications and flavor masking, such as sweetness enhancement, bitterness reduction and hiding aftertastes in foods.”   

Talcott emphasized the unique advantage of the food science and technology program at Texas A&M, which actively engages with numerous food companies nationwide and globablly.

“We have had a long-term relationship with ClearMask and a number of other companies that come to Texas A&M looking for talent for technical positions in food science,” Talcott said. “They appreciate the hands-on training we provide, as well as the depth and breadth of knowledge we impart to our students.”

About the food science major

Talcott said food science offers students like Votaw a chance to combine scientific method and creativity.

It is a hands-on major encompassing food chemistry, food bacteriology, product development technology and real-world problem-solving skills, he said. This spans from understanding how processing alters products to deciphering the chemical reactions that occur within them.

“We teach the steps and procedures to ideate, create, manufacture and sell a new food product for the marketplace,” Talcott said. “We also work to ensure the food industry provides a safe product for the consumer.”  

Talcott said an estimated 25% of all jobs in America are centered around food, and food science and technology students can find careers in a variety of related fields. He said some of these careers include quality control, quality assurance, product development, production supervision, ingredient manufacture, business development, procurement and management.

“Every time you go to a grocery store, in each product you will see the work of a food scientist — from its color, flavor, texture, packaging, quality, price and shelf life to the assurance that the product is safe and nutritious,” he said. “There you see the fruits of their innovation and hard work.”
