Vegan cheese spread study seeks participants
From: Department of Food Science & Technology
The VT Sensory Evaluation Lab is recruiting 100 volunteers to participate in a sensory study of vegan cheese spreads (IRB 24-1152).
Volunteers of any gender and ethnicity must be adults (18 + years old). Participants will be asked to taste vegan cheese spread samples, describe their impressions, and complete a short survey. If you have allergies to cashews, are pregnant or breastfeeding, you are asked to refrain from participating. Prior experience in sensory evaluation is not required. All participants will be offered snacks as a token of our appreciation.
The study will be on Feb. 18 and 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the VT Sensory Evaluation Lab (HABB1 room 205, 1230 Washington St SW). Sign-ups are not needed. Please come whenever your schedule allows.
Parking passes are available upon request. Time commitment is 20 minutes. For additional information, please contact Billy Tu (billytu@vt.edu), Renata Carneiro (rcvc@vt.edu), or Sean O'Keefe (okeefes@vt.edu).
