While in California for the NAFFS 22nd Annual West Coast Flavor Industry Forum Roundtable (March 10, 2022), I was able to squeeze in three site visits. First up was Sensegen, followed by Sweegen and finally T. Hasegawa. Luckily, the traffic was mild and the company was very interesting and bursting with exciting innovation.

Sensegen
My first stop on the tour was filled with first-time meet-and-greets with P&F+ guest columnist and Sensegen's chief value creation officer, Kathy Oglesby. Oglesby, alongside the Sensegen team, allowed me to tour the facility, as well as discuss the importance of sustainability and naturalness behind the company's mission. Along the way was senior perfumer Angelique Burke, senior creative perfumer Noemi Montoya Montelongo and flavorist A.J. Kamimura. The team shared an exciting yet-to-be-announced line of products. More details to come in the near future.
