Nicholas Appert Medal

The Nicolas Appert Award has been awarded every year since 1942 by the Chicago Section of the Institute of Food Technologists.

Given for lifetime and consistent achievement in food technology, it is named after Nicolas Appert, the French inventor of airtight food preservation.

Award winners receive a bronze medal with a front view of Appert from the Chicago Section of IFT and a USD 5000 honorarium from IFT. This is considered one of the highest honors in food technology.

The nominee must have made consistent - and essentially lifetime -contributions to food science and technology. Factors of personality or achievement outside the field of food technology cannot be considered.
