AACC International members are the creative and scientific force behind one of the fastest growing, most dynamic segments of the food industry. They are responsible for producing some of the most popular and profitable products. If there’s a new cracker, cookie, pretzel, or other snack food on the market, chances are an AACC International member was involved in the designing, developing, and marketing.

Not surprisingly, AACC International members work for some of the food industry’s leading companies throughout the world, including Frito Lay, General Mills, The Kellogg Company, Kraft Foods, Nestle, and Unilever Best Foods. Members also work for ingredient suppliers, manufacturers of chemical and lab products, and instrument and equipment organizations. Grain-based foods are big business. AACC International members work in all areas of food production. Their education and expertise puts them on the cutting edge of new product development, QC/QA, product improvement, and research.
