FTS Laboratories provides sensory (organoleptic) evaluation to assess taste, odor, appearance, and overall quality across a wide range of food, beverage, and ingredient products. Testing is conducted by trained evaluators using structured, defensible methodology, supporting quality verification, off-flavor and off-odor investigation, and decomposition assessment where FDA relies on organoleptic evaluation as part of its compliance determination. Our sensory expertise extends to specialized coffee and cocoa cupping and flavor grading, drawing on Q Grader-level evaluation experience. Whether you're investigating a customer complaint tied to taste or odor, confirming product quality before shipment, or need trained-panel evaluation to support an FDA compliance matter, our lab delivers timely, defensible sensory results.
