What We Do
  • The Sensory and Consumer Testing Department specializes in conducting focus groups, home use tests, and taste panels to evaluate a variety of consumer products. Our past panels have included children and adults testing foods and personal care products.
 
  • Panelists are rewarded for their time and opinion in the form of a cash stipend. You may attend panels or pick up your products during the day and in the evening, at our Canton, Massachusetts facility. The panel times range from a half-hour to two hours for one day or may be spread over several days.
