Taste Test Rules of Conduct
In order to participate on taste panels, you must have the following with you when you come in:
- A valid ID card (Drivers license or State ID)
To minimize distractions, we ask that you please do the following:
- Do not participate on panels if you are sick (ex. cold, flu, sinus, etc).
— We prefer to keep germs from spreading to our other panelists.
— Your ability to taste our products is negatively affected.
- Avoid consumption of strong food or drink ½ hour before panel
— Items such as coffee and garlic can linger and affect your ability to taste our products
- Avoid smoking ½ hour before your scheduled time
— Smoking decreases your ability to taste and a ½ hour is recommended as the amount of time it takes for you to recover.
- Avoid using strong perfumes or fragrances
— You may not be able to smell your perfume or fragrance since you adapt to it after a certain amount of time but others can and it can negatively affect their ability to smell & taste in the booth area.
- Avoid talking during evaluation
— The booth area is a controlled area, where there should be no distractions. Talking is a distraction and we want you to focus on tasting our products.
- When you leave the booth area, DO NOT talk about the products you tasted
— We need each panelist to test the products without hearing other people's opinions about them. You might think you're only talking to your friend but a tester who hasn't yet participated might overhear.
- Please turn off cell phone or put on vibrate mode
— The booth area is a controlled area, where there should be no distractions. The ringing of your phone is a distraction and talking is strongly discouraged; we want you to focus on tasting our products.
