P5-7 Food Careers Event

On Tuesday 4th October all pupils from P5-7 attended a Food Careers Event being held in Livingston. The event had lots of stalls from different food industries for the pupils to visit. Some stalls shared information about different companies and possible careers. Some stalls gave pupils the opportunity to try to identify foods, smell coffee beans or have a shot at some Silver Service. The favourite stalls were definitely the ones where pupils got to try some food. There was a stall that encouraged healthy eating by making smoothies but to blend the smoothie they had to pedal on a bike. Another stall showed them how to make some fancy white chocolate and a special jelly which all tasted lovely! The event was a great way for pupils to see the range of careers out there linked to the food industry from farmers, butchers, chemists (flavourings), nutritionists (humans and animals), web designers and so much more.
