Review: Fascinating, Fun, and Surprisingly Eye-Opening! - This kit was such a fun way to explore our taste genetics as a family. It comes with four types of strips—PTC, thiourea, sodium benzoate, and a control—and it was fascinating to see how differently each of us responded. One of us was a clear supertaster, another couldn’t taste anything at all! Even though instructions weren’t included, we didn’t need them—it’s very self-explanatory, and everything is clearly labeled. The quality was great, and we had some really interesting conversations afterward. Highly recommend for families, classrooms, or anyone curious about their taste perception!
Review: Great product, no instructions - These worked great for my food science class. I just needed to google which was which since I didn’t know! They were fun and very easy to use!

## Features

- ARE YOU A SUPERTASTER? || “Supertasters” are people who have the ability to taste the substance Phenylthiourea (PTC). PTC only has a taste to 7 out of 10 people and different genes determine if you can taste sodium benzoate. If it tastes salty, bitter, or sweet to you, then you have the dominant gene (S-). If you don't taste anything, you are recessive (ss). Thiourea may have taste if you can taste PTC
- INCLUDES || This kit contains all of the materials necessary to determine if a person is a supertaster in a scientifically sound way – utilizing a control paper to minimize sampling bias and error. Includes Control Paper (no chemical), PTC Test Paper, Thiourea Test Paper and Sodium Benzoate Test Paper. Each is packaged in a reclosable vial and includes 100 paper strips (4 x 100 strips)
- CLASSROOM PACK || Perfect for classroom demonstration of genetics and heredity, or for a fun experiment you can try at home!
- BIODEGRADABLE BOX || The Supertaster kit is conveniently packaged in a biodegradable box for easy storage
- INSTRUCTIONS || Kit includes a link for basic instructions, as well as a full and simplified version lab activity for classrooms or small groups

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm planning to use these for a science class, but can't find safety info for parents. Can you help? How much of each chemical is on each strip?**
A: The Center for Precollegiate Education and Training at the University of Florida has a lesson plan and information on the chemicals.  Search this sentence: "Ingesting too much PTC at once can cause thyroid damage, which is why it's important to limit the students' access to the taste strips."

**Q: Are the papers for each tube colored differently or are they all white?**
A: They are all white.  Those colored papers are just inserts with the name of the chemical

**Q: Hi, I see that the first two vials have 100 strips, but how many are in theVial of Thiourea Test Strips and Vial of Control (No Chemical) Test Strips?**
A: zoom in on second picture...all four have 100 strips

**Q: I've been looking for food grade sodium benzoate that is listed in the ingredients of things like nusugar, is this sodium benzoate it?**
A: This is a litmus kits that can give you a hint of whether you are a super taster or not.  I know the sodium benzoate strip tells the sodium content

These worked great for my food science class. I just needed to google which was which since I didn’t know! They were fun and very easy to use!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Simple, Fascinating Experiment in How We Experience Flavor
*by O***4 on November 26, 2025*

I'm a food scientist and had not tested my tasting abilities in years- especially after COVID. I'm happy to say, I still meet the criteria for super taster! I love to experience human nature as well. Even though the results are based on genetics, it's always so interesting to see how others experience taste. This unformation is helpful in food product development.
