These guidelines apply to everything published on The Meal Food.
Original recipes
We write our own recipes and guides. We don't copy content from other websites or cookbooks.
Honest about seasonality
Seasonal lists describe general US patterns. We note that timing varies by region and climate, and we never present general guidance as exact for a particular location.
Practical and safe
Recipes use US measurements and Fahrenheit temperatures and include USDA-recommended safe internal temperatures where relevant, plus allergen and handling notes.
No health claims
We describe food in culinary terms. You won't find claims here that an ingredient or recipe prevents, treats or cures a disease.
Same page for everyone
Every visitor sees the same content on every page. We don't personalize or change page content based on who is visiting or how they arrived.
