UPDATE 2023: I have yet to get any actual products to test out. Every single e-mail is a consumer survey where you are entered to win a gift card. I haven’t gotten any surveys related to testing an actual product. This one is a bit of a letdown.

UPDATE 2024: I can’t recall the last time I even got a survey request.

Learn More About McCormick Consumer Testing

With the McCormick taste testing program, you will have the opportunity to sample a range of foods, snacks and beverages, either at home or at their Hunt Valley, Maryland location (if you are local). They pick consumers from their database who meet the demographic requirements for the product they are testing.

If you’re chosen, you’ll receive an email inviting you to answer a few questions about an upcoming test. After you answer them, their system will let you know whether or not you qualify for that test.

If you do qualify, you will get the products for free and be paid at the end of the study. How much depends on the type and duration of the taste test.

Tests are conducted Monday – Friday during both day and evening hours, and you can participate up to four times per year. Once you participate in a test, you will not be eligible to be called for the next three months.
