Maybe Bio? Also, a relative of mine is studying food tech at uni and he took maths and psych, along with chemistry.

Look into the courses on unis websites to see if they specify any particular subjects. If they dont specify any particular subjects then take whichever you think may be useful/subjects you think you will get good grades in.
Biology may be useful.

If you’re interested in food science, a food science degree might be useful. The subjects that are usually required are A Level Biology and Chemistry, with an emphasis on Chemistry. Hope this helps.
