I am inviting you to participate in a study that will use various procedures, which are aimed at measuring your ability to distinguish subtle differences between food products.

If you decide to participate, you will be required to sample mayonnaise or ice tea. We are interested in finding out if you are able to distinguish between two similar products

30 minutes.

This study has received ethical approval from the University of Auckland Human Subjects Ethics Committee on 12 November for a period of 3 years, from 2008, Reference 2008/347.

	Hi sorry - I would like to take part but as I am currently pregnant I am unable to eat mayonnaise (contains raw egg). posted by Marisa on 2010-05-24 11:33:05
Hi Marisa, If you would still like to take part, you can be put in the Ice Tea group. Participant are allocated to either a mayonnaise or ice tea group on a random basis but I could allocate you to the ice tea group. Thanks Miriam posted by msto051 on 2010-05-24 13:10:52
