Michigan State University Mobile Food Lab

Now this is innovation! Michigan State University has designed a mobile food processing lab to train students on food processing. Graduates can receive a certificate and associate degree when the training is completed. This program is a partnership with community colleges across Michigan.

The mobile lab has food grade equipment, preparation space and storage space. It also has custom made air filtration, electrical, compressed air, steam and water systems to fit the mobile trailer. This mobile lab is a small scale version of what isĀ  seen in food manufacturing operations. It saves money and space in capital investment and is able to reach more people.
