About

K-State Olathe’s Incubator Kitchen is an outgrowth of and collaboration with the Kansas Value Added Food Lab and is housed at the Olathe campus of Kansas State University.

Additionally, other R&D capabilities related to food analytics, microbiology, sensory/consumer panels and other logistics in the supply chain provide a unique spectrum of food-industry-related needs through the Olathe campus.

 

Current facilities in the Kitchen Incubator consist of multiple work areas, including three zones which can be configured to match space and equipment with variable needs. Services include quality, nutritional and microbial testing, product development consulting and help with regulatory and food safety issues. Food Safety and food handler training is also available.
