The site is the global hub for enabling technologies including a full-scale sensory and consumer insights lab, as well as an analytical lab.”
The Nourish Innovation Lab is one in a series of aggressive investments IFF is making to broaden co-creation capabilities. The 160,000-square-foot Union Beach facility has served as IFF’s premier taste and scent research center for more than half a century, and includes a botanical garden, sensory science wing and pilot manufacturing site.
