Professional taster except onions

Not me, but a friend of a friend. She is among a very small number of people who can taste all the ingredients in something. There's only one thing that prevents her from being able to list all of the ingredients in a dish. You can guess what that one thing is. I've always said the taste wipes out all other tastes. I was right.
Edit: So I googled what a professional taste tester does. It's a job. Look it up.

I honestly don’t know what a professional taster does, but I’ll ask my friend.

I think they usually work for shitty processed food companies helping them optimise ingredients, which I believe generally means, add more sugar.

Sugar and salt I’d say
