Editorial standards and corrections

The short answer

We publish information under a named author and publisher, distinguish substantive changes from routine copy edits, and correct the authoritative source before we replace its customer editions.

Editorial responsibility

Danielle Malachi is responsible for the food and editorial decisions published under her name. #insecuriti kitchen publishes the website, cookbook and digital editions and is responsible for keeping each live version tied to a reviewed source.

We aim to make a claim only as strongly as its evidence allows. Our public recipe-development and testing method explains why tested, validated and published are different states.

What counts as a correction?

A correction may be needed when something materially affects a cook’s result or understanding, including:

• a safety instruction, allergen note or storage direction;
• an ingredient quantity, yield, timing, temperature or method step;
• a factual statement about the cookbook, website or digital products;
• a broken link, inaccessible control or site behaviour that prevents someone from using the published information; or
• wording, spelling or layout that changes the intended meaning.

A reader preference can be useful feedback without being an error. We review the evidence before deciding whether the published source needs to change.

How we review a report

1. Record the issue.Identify the page, recipe, edition or product and what the reader observed.
2. Find the affected source.Check which reviewed version produced the information and where else the same fact appears.
3. Review the evidence.Reproduce the problem or test the affected claim when that is necessary.
4. Approve the exact change.Decide whether to correct, clarify or leave the published information unchanged, and record why.
5. Correct the source.Make the approved change in the authoritative source instead of patching one display in isolation.
6. Rebuild and publish together.Review every affected customer edition, then release the corrected version and retain the earlier version as evidence.

When the review date changes

A substantive review date changes when we alter the meaning of a definition, claim, instruction, safety statement, method or policy. We may repair a typo, formatting error or broken link without presenting it as a new substantive review.

Recipe corrections stay together

A recipe screen, black-and-white edition and colour edition are different presentations of the same reviewed recipe. If a correction changes the food, method, yield, timing, safety or storage facts, we review and replace every affected edition together. We do not quietly correct one format while leaving the others contradictory.

What remains private

Complete formulas, unpublished recipes, kitchen test records and internal production systems remain protected. Customer account details, private notes, passwords, payment information and redemption codes are not part of the public correction record.

Report a problem

Email help@insecuriti.ca. Tell us which page, recipe or edition you were using; what you did; what happened; and what you expected. For a website problem, include the device and browser if you can.

Do not send a password, full payment information or an unredacted redemption code. We do not run public comment threads or require a social account to report a correction.
