Short answer – yes.Longer answer – the test relies on the person taking the test being able to provide accurate and relative responses to the test questionnaire while working through the steps. So, while the chemical compounds used in the Phenomune test strips are entirely safe for children, an adult may be needed to help children under 18 navigate the process, and work through the questions with them. They may need help identifying if their sense of bitterness is, say, at a level 2-4 versus a level 7-10, for example.Also, worth mentioning is that we deeply respect Children's Privacy. Please take a look at our Privacy Policy for further reassurance in this area.
