CJ CheilJedang looking for product evaluation panelists

CJ CheilJedang, the country’s leading food manufacturer, said yesterday it is recruiting a group of consumer panels that will evaluate products and services after experiencing them.

The company said anyone aged 25 to 49 is eligible to apply, except for consumers that have already been recruited for panels by other food manufacturers.

Applications can be made by visiting CJ CheilJedang’s website (www.cj.co.kr) through Sunday.

The company said a list of successful applicants consumers will be posted online on Feb. 28.

“This particular recruiting will be restricted to Korean consumers,” said an official from CJ CheilJedang. “But we have a separate consumer panel recruiting process for foreigners in Korea.”

In January, the company recruited 18 foreign consumers for panels and plans on adding more to that group this year.
