Reporting a correction
To make your report easy for us to act on, include these four things.
- 1The page URL
- 2What is wrong
- 3The correct information
- 4A source or link, if you have one
Reader reports are one of the best inputs we have. We cannot cook every dish or test every ratio in every kitchen, so people who just did fill the gaps we cannot.
A botanical name, a nutrition figure, or a substitution that did not work at the ratio we gave are exactly the details we most want to hear about. You can read how we check and update these facts on our methodology page.
You do not need all four to write in. Even a short note that a ratio was off or a name was wrong is worth sending.
Send a correctionHealth corrections come first
A wrong claim about a spice's safety in pregnancy or its interaction with a medication can put someone at risk. So we sort health corrections to the front of the line, and fast-track the review on our health pages.
If your report touches on health or safety, say so in your first line.
We are not a medical service
KnowTheSpices cannot give medical advice or answer an urgent health question. If a spice or herb has caused a reaction, or you are unsure whether one is safe for you, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
Partnerships, affiliates, and press
We are open to working with brands and outlets, but our independence is not for sale. You can read the full details in our editorial policy.
What we will do
- Consider affiliate links to spices and tools we already recommend on their own merit.
