The article is devoted to the study of terminology and the process of  terminology formation in English in the professional activities of the food and
processing industry. As the food industry develops, new terms change or appear, which names are directly related to the food production processes. The article discusses professional terms in the food industry borrowed from the English language. The main ways to replenish terms in this area are direct borrowing and «calquing». The names of equipment, cooking technologies and professions that do not have a similar translation in Uzbek were chosen as research material.
