Elles [les fiches techniques] précisent la carte d’identité organoleptique de chaque produit.
I need to get away from "organoleptic" here. I am looking for an English (UK) term that could be used in advertising intended for the general public. Thanks for your suggestions.

sensory ID card

I presume it means that the cards describe how the product looks, tastes, smells etc.

specific sensory characteristics

Or perhaps "individual sensory characteristics"
Still not sure that the register is quite right, though ...

taste-and-texture fingerprint?
Declined
an idea - fingerprint stemming from teh ID card thing, and 'taste and texture' to get away from the overheavy 'organoleptic'...
as you state that we're looking for general public-targeted advertising-friendly hook (!), i cooked up (oooh - terrible!) this suggestion ;-)

character profile (colour, smell, taste, texture)
Declined
"The technical cards provide a character profile for each profile"
For me, all of the substitutes for 'organoleptic' just don't sound like something anyone would say in English - it sounds weird to me to refer to the 'sensory' qualities of a food.
I think if you are referring to the 'character' of a food item, it is implied that this concerns how it looks, tastes, feels - what other 'characters' of a food item are there apart from sensory ones? For extra security you could perhaps put in brackets afterwards "(colour, smell, taste, texture)". This strikes me as the most natural English solution...
