Editorial Policy
Sources we prioritize
We prefer primary food-safety research, contaminant guidance, lab methods, systematic reviews, reputable agencies, and transparent certificates of analysis. We avoid turning unreplicated claims into conclusions.
How pages are updated
Coffee pages and research summaries are revised when heavy-metal guidance, mycotoxin evidence, pesticide standards, decaf-solvent rules, lab reports, or brand transparency materially changes.
Corrections
If you find an error, send the page URL, the disputed statement, and the source you think should replace it. Safety-relevant contaminant corrections are prioritized.
Editorial independence
Pages are written for buyer clarity, not to reward vague wellness marketing. Affiliate potential never outranks heavy-metal evidence, lab transparency, freshness, and value.
