Understanding what is written on the pack

We only write a page when we can ground it in a primary source — a food safety authority, a regulation, a scientific committee — and when it answers a question someone genuinely asks standing in front of a shelf.

The standard we hold these pages to:

• The answer comes first. Every page opens with the short version, before any explanation. If you read only that, you should still be correct.
• Claims are traceable. Statements about safety, regulation or nutrition science cite a named institution and a year, listed at the foot of the page. PRODX is never the evidence for a scientific claim.
• Limits are stated, not buried. Each page says what it cannot tell you, and that section sits before the part about PRODX, not after it.
• No medical advice. We describe what rules require and what assessments concluded. We do not diagnose, and for anything safety-critical the physical packaging and your clinician are the authority.
• Written by PRODX. There is no invented medical reviewer and no fictional byline. These pages are researched and written by the team, and dated so you can see how current they are.
