The major of food safety and testing mainly depends on the school. I mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of chemistry, biology and food engineering, and receive basic training in food production technology management, food engineering design and scientific research. Professional core courses include food chemistry and analysis, food nutrition, food microbiology, food engineering principles, introduction to food technology, food equipment and factory design. The major courses of food science and engineering in China Agricultural University include organic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry, food chemistry, food microbiology, food preservation principle, food engineering principle, biostatistics and experimental design, nutrition, food analysis, agricultural product processing technology, curriculum design of agricultural product processing technology, food safety and quality control, food machinery and equipment, food factory design, etc.

The major courses of food science and engineering in South China University of Technology include inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, food microbiology, food biochemistry, food analysis, principles of food processing and preservation, and food engineering equipment.

Generally speaking, the courses offered in this major include chemistry, biology, food chemistry, food analysis, food microbiology, food nutrition, food engineering principles, food technology and food safety.

Based on life science and food science, food specialty studies the relationship between food nutrition, safety and health, the guarantee of food nutrition and the quality management of food safety and hygiene. It is an important part of food science and preventive medicine, and the food major studies the diet problems that are most closely related to people's daily life. If you don't take the postgraduate entrance examination, the counterparts of this major mainly include: customs, health and epidemic prevention stations, CDC, food and drug administration, grain bureau and so on.
