Yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds!
CSU Spur’s taste testing lab is launching in 2023, and we’re looking for people who would like to get paid to try food and beverage items and provide feedback!
Many local and regional companies need input to help them make better tasting products, and even introduce new products to the marketplace.
As one of the CSU Spur taste testers in our database, you will receive email notifications for events and surveys. Opportunities include paid taste tests and focus groups; even paid online surveys that can be completed from anywhere.
