The Public Health Award in honor of Babcock-Hart & Gilbert A. Leveille is an award of the Institute of Food Technologists recognizing scientific and technological contributions that have improved public health through nutrition or a more nutritious food supply. The award is partnered with the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences and the American Society for Nutrition, and consists of a $3,000 honorarium and a crystal award from IFT.
The former Babcock-Hart Award was last listed under that name in IFT's 2020 achievement awards, when Mary Ann Lila received the award.
The award incorporates the former Babcock-Hart Award, which was awarded from 1948 through 2020, and the Gilbert A. Leveille Award and Lectureship. The Babcock-Hart Award was named for agricultural chemist Stephen M. Babcock and his colleague Edwin B. Hart.
