Editorial policy

Lasting Food Journal aims to make its food-keeping coverage clear, careful and independent. We explain what we can support, identify the limits of an article and make changes when a genuine error comes to light.

Accuracy and context

We check names, dates, descriptions and factual claims against suitable material before publication, and take care not to present a custom or household preference as universal. Articles are written for general understanding, not as safety-critical instructions; readers should use authoritative guidance for food safety decisions.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Any sponsored or partner material will be clearly labelled so readers can tell it apart from independent editorial coverage. A partnership does not guarantee favourable coverage, and partners do not determine our conclusions.

Corrections

If you spot a possible error, please use the Contact page and tell us which article and detail you mean, along with useful context or a source where available. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted, making the change clear when it meaningfully affects an article.

Illustrations

Some illustrations on Lasting Food Journal may be generated with artificial intelligence. Illustrations are not evidence of a method, result or historical object, and we aim to avoid presenting them as documentary photographs.
