NCFST Launches New Web Site

The new site features improved features and functionality for consortium members, staff and the general public.

ARGO, Ill. – The National Center for Food Safety and Technology (NCFST), Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), launched its redesigned Web site, which features improved features and functionality for consortium members, staff and the general public. The new URL for the site is www.iit.edu/ncfst.

The NCFST website was relaunched as part of the university’s Banner Project, the multi-year conversion of IIT websites to a new content management system. The new site has several new features, including full staff directories for NCFST/IIT and the US Food and Drug Administration Division of Food Processing Science and Technology, links to industry and
government partners, and a media room.

“The updated website really reflects NCFST’s growth as a world-class food research institute,” said Martin Cole, PhD, NCFST Director. “I encourage all stakeholders to bookmark the new URL and visit often to take advantage of upcoming additions to the site.”

Additional features such as members only pages and a photo gallery will be available in January 2010, followed by user-friendly packaging integrity and C. botulinum databases.
