Roland-Story food science class develops new product Roland-Story food science class students were recently challenged to develop a new food product that had to meet certain nutritional, cost and quality requirements as part of their class. The objective of
the activity was for each student to “Develop a heart healthy pizza.” The product had to address concerns such as: economics, nutrition, quality control, product safety, equipment, distribution and formulations.
According to Brad Taylor, Roland-Story agriculture instructor, “The activity was designed so that each student had to create a pizza that was lower in calories, fats and salts and still met certain nutritional requirements.”
Four members of the Gilbert FFA Chapter were challenged in their business, marketing and management
skills at the State FFA Leadership Conference in Ames on April 22. Team members competed in three evalua-
tion components, and were ranked in the top third of the state for the eighth-consecutive year.
