Webinar Series
The Nutrition for Gut Health Committee has initiated a webinar series to help guide the committee’s research and projects, and provide updated science to the food and nutrition community in this complex area.
These webinars qualify for Certified Food Scientist (CFS) recertification contact hours (CH). CFS certificants may claim a maximum of 1.0 CH for each webinar/session they view with a maximum of 8 hours a day. For more information, please visit ift.org/certification or email ifscc@ift.org.
A compilation of videos on the Fundamentals of Gut Microbiome and Nutrition Research is provided here.
