The World Taste & Smell Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering appreciation and understanding of our vital, yet often overlooked, senses of taste and smell. Everyone deserves to enjoy simple everyday pleasures, including the full range of flavors and aromas that food has to offer, and we are committed to finding new ways to improve taste and smell perception to elevate the human experience.

In addition to our landmark research, worldwide World Taste & Smell Day activities are held annually on September 14th along with the #DeliciousForAll Culinary Challenge.

#DeliciousForAll is a campaign that raises awareness of the importance of taste and smell and celebrates the diversity of culinary experiences. This Challenge crowdsources recipes, insights, and personal stories and features consumer products, drinks, and dishes that are #deliciousforall, regardless of taste or smell impairments. 

Your proceeds will help support the growth of our nonprofit organization for innovation, advocacy, and the art and science of taste and smell.

Chemosensory disorders impact more than 50 million people worldwide, yet most suffer in silence. These disorders can make it difficult to enjoy food, which can have a negative impact on overall health and well-being. Taste and smell disorders can also affect people who work in the culinary world, perfumery, product development, hospitality, and other industries that rely on our sense of taste and smell.

You can help us make a difference in the lives of millions of people affected by chemosensory disorders.
