"Senomyx is an American biotechnology company working toward developing additives to amplify certain flavors and smells in foods. The company claims to have essentially "reverse engineered" the receptors in humans that react for taste and aroma, and that they are capitalizing on these discoveries to produce chemicals that will make food taste better. Senomyx develops patented flavor enhancers by using "proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems." These receptors have been previously expressed in HEK293 cells.[1]"
They use the cell to identify receptors and then fire them with different chemicals to see how they respond.
- then develop flavors with those chemicals.

"HEK stands for human embryonic kidney cells.[2] These cells are derived from cells that originally came from a healthy, electively aborted human fetus in the early 1970s.[3] The receptors in the assay are used to identify flavours; they are not used as flavours themselves. No human taste receptors are used as ingredients in any flavourings. Using information from the human genome sequence, Senomyx has identified hundreds of taste receptors and currently owns 113 patents on their discoveries. Senomyx collaborates with seven of the world's largest food companies to further their research and to fund development of their technology."
So the claim is that no human material ends up in the food.
Just the taste does.
These cells were used to identify how they would react to artificial flavors they made as a means to see how someones taste buds would react to it..
The cells themselves are not in the flavorings at all.
Also, the article states they claim they have reversed engineered those cells, so they would no longer have to use ones extracted from fetuses..
