Christy Moran is a tenured creative inspiration where she leads the Research and Development team at Blue Bell Creameries and helps continue a tradition of new ice cream flavor excitement in the freezer case along with many other new product development details that the team is responsible for. With 28 years of work at Blue Bell, she combines her roles as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Food Scientist to share insight into dietetics in the food industry and work in areas of not only new product development, but also sensory evaluation, ingredient procurement/testing, nutrition labeling/packaging approval and consumer relations in terms of nutrition and ingredient education and even public relations, recruiting and teaching. This industry continues to provide excitement for the Blue Bell R&D team in terms of adding new product lines with nutritional qualities, juggling legal and consumer expectations and working through new challenges like non-certified color changes and ever-changing nutrition labeling and packaging dynamics. Her ice cream job is “sweet” for sure and she enjoys her career along with a family life in Brenham, Texas with her husband David and grown students Madison (20) and Dawson (17). The Morans also share in a love for family life rooted in agriculture and a cattle ranching operation outside of their full-time jobs.
