will it be a waste of time for a zoology student if they take food science for msc? In the sense will the their bachelor's in zoology affect their professional career when it comes to recruitment in food safety areas.
From the professional career point of view, being from Zoology background won't add any demerits to your profile. If you have good knowledge and skills in your PG, then it will suffice well in securing a job ahead. Also do focus well in the Final year project/Dissertation report you have to make. Be sincere with that as many companies ask questions from the Project as well.
