This award, which recognizes individuals or organizations whose research contributes to the continued enhancement of food quality and safety through freezing, was presented to Reid during the 2012 IAFP annual meeting in Providence RI. He was selected for his research that has helped shape the understanding of the fundamental basis of food freezing.

In 1981, Reid joined the Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of California-Davis to continue his study of the role of water in foods.

He also serves on the scientific advisory committees for both the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) and the Global Cold Chain Alliance. He is a fellow of the Institute of Food Technologists and the International Academy of Food Science and Technology, and was presented with a Career Leadership Award by AFFI in 2007.
