About the Food Tech Licensure Exam
Food Technology became a regulated profession in the Philippines with the enactment of Republic Act No. 11052, or the Philippine Food Technology Act, in June 2018 under then-President Rodrigo R. Duterte.
The law established the Board of Food Technology under the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to oversee the registration, licensure, and professional practice of food technologists in the country. It also set the standards and regulations governing the profession.
The first Food Technologists Licensure Examination was subsequently conducted in August 2023, marking the start of the country's professional licensure system for food technologists.
