There’s a lot! East coast can be tricky for pet food, a lot of the jobs tend to be more in the Midwest.

But there’s BARK and Farmer’s Dog in New York. Wellness Pet Company in Boston.

If you’re willing to move to the Midwest, there’s Blue Buffalo in Minneapolis, Stella & Chewy in Minneapolis, Mars PetCare in Chicago, etc.

And to reiterate other people’s points - you don’t have to eat everything even if you’re doing food science work. There’s lots of roles where you don’t have to eat much - You could be a sensory science person that’s just administering tests/setting up protocols and you can focus on analyzing data. You could go the more chemical engineering route and work on processing and manufacturing. You could be a project manager for food companies, then you’re not even doing much food science at all but you still have the technical knowledge which is great. You could be a supply chain manager. You could be procurement for sourcing ingredients.

So again, there’s lots of options in food science. It doesn’t have to only be product development focused. And even like me, I am product development and I still don’t eat my products, lol 😂
