Corrections Policy
Last updated: May 2, 2026
RecipePool treats corrections as part of the recipe development process. If a reader finds an unclear step, mismatched image, ingredient issue, timing problem, or broken page behavior, we want that report to be easy to send and clear to review.
What we review
Recipe quantities, steps, doneness cues, substitutions, storage notes, image relevance, search behavior, and accessibility issues.
How we prioritize
Safety, broken functionality, incorrect ingredient logic, and misleading imagery are reviewed before lower-impact wording updates.
What changes
A correction may update recipe text, remove a weak page from public routes, replace an image, clarify notes, or add troubleshooting guidance.
How to Send a Correction
Send corrections through the Contact page or email corrections@recipepool.com. Include the page URL, recipe or guide title, the section involved, what looked wrong, and any useful cooking context such as equipment, ingredient brand, altitude, pan size, dietary substitution, or timing difference.
Correction Review Steps
We first confirm the affected page and classify the issue. Recipe issues are checked against the ingredient list, instruction order, visible page text, structured data, and related editorial notes. Technical issues are checked against the live site, crawlable pages, search behavior, images, and feed or sitemap output.
If a report shows that a public recipe is not strong enough, the page may be revised or removed from public routes until it has enough recipe-specific value. That is preferable to keeping a weak page online only to preserve catalog size.
Visible Updates
Public recipe pages display published, reviewed, and updated dates when that information is available. Meaningful recipe changes should be reflected in the updated date or reviewed date, and the page content should explain practical changes through clearer notes, better cues, or revised instructions rather than hidden edits.
Image and Attribution Corrections
Image corrections are treated seriously because mismatched or duplicated photos can make a recipe misleading. Reports about broken images, unrelated photos, weak alt text, or missing attribution may lead to an image replacement, page quarantine, or updated visual checkpoint guidance.
Nutrition and Dietary Corrections
Nutrition information is approximate and can vary based on brands, substitutions, and serving size. If a reader flags a nutritional issue, we review the displayed serving basis, ingredient assumptions, and whether the recipe page needs clearer dietary language. We do not provide personalized medical or dietary advice.
Relationship to Editorial Standards
Corrections are part of the same quality system described in our Editorial Policy. A correction is not only a typo fix; it can be a signal that a recipe needs better ingredient notes, more specific troubleshooting, clearer visual checkpoints, or stronger public-page support.
