The chosen expert could be a member of an industry organization such as the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA), the Food and Beverage Technology Association (IFBTA), or the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT).

To enhance flavor, appearance, or to preserve flavor, substances are often added to food products. A food additive can be of natural or artificial origin, and can be introduced in an indirect manner, such as through the manufacturing process, packaging, or during storage.

Litigation support by a food additives expert witness can involve intellectual property matters such as a patent litigation or a trade secret dispute. A food additives specialist might also provide testimony in matters involving food safety issues. Expert witness service by a food additive specialist could include product analysis, expert report preparation, expert opinion, deposition testimony, and testimony in court.
