On Saturday, January 31st, members of the Versailles FFA participated in the State FFA Food Science and Technology Contest in Columbus, Ohio at The Ohio State University.
The contest required students to identify aromas, conduct a triangle test, take a written test over food quality and safety, identify safety problems from a customer complaint letter, solve math problems, and identify food processing tools.
Students also were given 1 hour to complete a product development plan based on developing a product that was given to them by Ohio FFA which this year focused on developing a plan for a protein shake.
Versailles FFA earned the right to compete in the state contest after placing 1st in the district.
Versailles FFA placed 6th in the state contest and team members consisted of Eden Barga, Adam Rauh, Gabe McGlinch and Ruthie Smith.
The team was led by Adam Rauh and Ruthie Smith. The team would also like to thank Dr. Courtney Simone of Wright State Lake Campus for coming and helping them prepare for the contest.
Congratulations to all!
