Tasteocracy 1.7.15

Tasteocracy is a community-based platform where diverse individuals from Twin Cities, Minnesota, and the Tri Valley/East Bay area outside San Francisco, California, converge to provide feedback on various new and existing products. Becoming a member involves setting up a profile. Once enrolled, participants respond to a series of questions for potential selection in upcoming tests. Successful candidates are then presented with available time slots to partake in product trials, integrating them into our community of evaluators.

Tasteocracy offers an engaging experience where testers evaluate food items, beverages, dietary supplements, and more within a controlled setting. The evaluation process is predominantly confidential and frequently conducted independently, with some activities designed as interactive focus groups. Test sessions typically span 30 to 50 minutes, with members compensated with monetary rewards starting at $35 for sharing their invaluable insights.

To be eligible for Tasteocracy participation:

• You must be situated in either the Twin Cities Metro Area in Minnesota or the Tri Valley/East Bay area in California, as most trials necessitate physical presence. Individuals residing outside these regions can register for potential test opportunities but may need to travel to designated testing sites.
• Your age should fall between 18 and 65 years old, as each trial specifies age requirements within this range. While children are allowed to participate as Taste Buds, parental registration is mandatory. Limited testing slots are also available for adults over 65.
• Individuals free of any food allergies are encouraged to join, ensuring safety during evaluations. Those with dietary restrictions can still enroll but might have fewer chances for participation. Further information on food allergies is available in our FAQ section.
• Applicants employed in marketing, market research, or food/beverage sectors are ineligible to join our testing community.
