The Department of Food Science is looking for participants to join a recruitment database for the Sensory Evaluation Laboratory. They are looking for participants who are 18 years old or older, who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, have no known food allergies, do not smoke, and do not have tongue or cheek piercings.  

Participants will receive emails about upcoming studies. Studies will typically require participants to taste and evaluate various food/beverage products or complete online questionnaires.
