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).
Litigation support by a food technology expert can involve intellectual property matters such as a patent litigation, or a trade secret dispute. A food scientist might also provide testimony in matters such as a packaging product liability case, or a food safety issue. Expert witness service by a food technology specialist could include product analysis, an expert report, expert opinion, deposition, and expert witness testimony in court. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a subject matter expert with prior testimony experience.
