Students Win with Healthy Snack

CanolaInfo and the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) awarded first place in their Heart-Healthy Product Development Competition for food science students to a team from Rutgers University for “Heartmony,” a cracker and dip snack made with canola oil. The goal of the contest is to showcase how the food industry can meet the demand of consumers who want healthier food choices. Students were asked to create heart-healthy snacks low in saturated fat and free of trans fat using canola oil.
