Our Sourcing Standards
We are committed to providing accurate, evidence-based information about food allergies and dietary alternatives. Our editorial standards ensure every article is researched thoroughly and verified by trusted sources.
Our Source Categories
Peer-Reviewed Research
We prioritise peer-reviewed scientific studies published in reputable journals. These articles undergo rigorous evaluation by independent experts before publication, ensuring methodological integrity and accuracy in food allergy research and nutrition science.
Government & Health Agencies
We reference guidelines from NHS, Food Standards Agency (FSA), and the UK Health Security Agency. These organisations set evidence-based standards for food labelling, allergen information, and public health recommendations.
Industry Experts & Dietitians
We consult registered dietitian nutritionists and food scientists who specialise in allergen management. Their professional experience and qualifications help us translate complex research into practical, actionable guidance for readers.
International Allergy Organisations
We reference guidance from British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI), the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and similar trusted bodies worldwide. Their standards reflect the latest scientific consensus.
Nutrition & Food Science Databases
We access databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and the British Nutrition Foundation for evidence on ingredient safety, nutritional composition, and food allergen cross-reactivity. These resources aggregate quality-controlled research.
Verified Product Standards
When discussing alternatives, we review official product certifications, ingredient lists, and manufacturer safety data. We verify allergen labelling against UK Food Standards Agency regulations and allergen information requirements.
