What Others Are Saying …

“Mattson, one of the country’s foremost food research-and-development firms.”

– Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker

 

“The Mad Scientists of Yum”

 

“These people know what you’re going to want to eat before you do”

 

“IF Willy Wonka were a real person, he might well be confecting in a white coat at Mattson, a food lab here, just south of San Francisco, home to some of the brightest and most far-out food creators in the country.”

 

“One company is constantly coming up with new tricks in the food industry. Find out how they pull the rabbit out of the hat on a regular basis.”
