Congratulations to University of Massachusetts Amherst food scientist Lynne McLandsborough, who was awarded the 2024 Mahoney Life Sciences Prize for her research that offers a solution to a sticky sanitation and food safety dilemma hounding the peanut butter and chocolate industries. McLandsborough's lab has developed a novel "dry" sanitation method for peanut butter and chocolate plant facilities, which holds promise to make sanitizing facilities processing low-moisture foods more efficient while improving food safety and reducing bacterial illness outbreaks. She is already in talks with Mars, the world’s largest chocolate manufacturer, and J.M. Smucker, the owner of Jif peanut butter, to test the method, and she has filed a patent application on the innovation. The $25,000 Mahoney Prize is given annually to a faculty member in the College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst to honor excellence and recognize academic achievement that propels significant advances in science and industry.
