Errors should be visible, fixable, and learnable

Corrections policy and public change log

A nutrition library should make it easy to report an error and clear what happens next. This page separates material editorial corrections from routine maintenance.

Established and last updated August 13, 2026

What counts as a material correction

A material correction changes a factual claim, numerical result, safety warning, source interpretation, conclusion, or instruction in a way that could affect a reader’s understanding or decision. Examples include an incorrect intake unit, a misquoted reference range, a formula error, an outdated allergen rule, or language that overstates what a study established.

Material corrections should identify the affected URL, the earlier meaning, the corrected meaning, the date, and a concise reason. The goal is accountability, not embarrassment or silent rewriting.

What counts as routine maintenance

Spelling, grammar, spacing, color contrast, navigation, broken internal links, metadata, structured-data formatting, source-link updates that do not change the supported claim, and performance improvements are usually routine maintenance. These changes are tracked in repository history but do not each require a public correction entry.

If routine-looking work changes meaning—for example, a “small” unit edit from milligrams to micrograms—it becomes a material correction.

How reports are evaluated

  1. Locate the exact sentence, calculation, or behavior on the current page.
  2. Check the cited source and, when necessary, a newer or more authoritative reference.
  3. Determine whether the issue is factual, interpretive, presentational, or a reasonable scientific disagreement.
  4. Correct the page and related internal references, calculators, schema, or search snippets together.
  5. Validate the changed page and decide whether the public log needs an entry.

A correction request is not accepted merely because a source disagrees. Evidence quality, publication date, population, dose, outcome, and whether the source actually addresses the claim all matter.

Public material-correction log

No material factual correction entries are currently recorded. The library has undergone substantial routine maintenance and sourcing expansion, but no verified change has yet required a public before-and-after factual entry under this policy.

This statement is not a claim that the site is error-free. It means no material correction has been classified and logged since this public process was established on August 13, 2026.

Technical maintenance already completed

Recent repository work removed invalid advertising placeholders and obsolete third-party advertising code, repaired an internal topic destination, expanded the sitemap as new pages were published, added full-library search, and introduced automated quality checks. These are technical changes rather than factual corrections, and their complete history remains available in the public Git repository.

Report a possible error

Use the contact page. Include the page URL, the exact wording or calculation, why it appears wrong, and a link or citation to stronger evidence if available. Do not send private medical records or use the form for urgent medical questions.

Corrections are evaluated on evidence, regardless of whether the report comes from a professional, student, reader, company, or anonymous visitor. Commercial pressure does not determine the outcome.
