Sources & review process

Sources, review notes, update times, and limits are shown in one structure. Readers can tell whether a page is a reviewed conclusion, needs manual review, or only serves as a review entry point.

Source tiers

Prioritize regulators, public-health agencies, veterinary toxicology references, and university or medical databases, then cross-check with general references.

Manual review

Editors verify the verdict, sources, risk level, update time, disclaimer, and related-question links.

Professional review

Pregnancy, chronic disease, infants, medication, first aid, and pet poisoning must keep a higher review bar.

Source types

Common reference scope

Pets & ingestionASPCA Animal Poison Control, Pet Poison Helpline, Merck Veterinary Manual, AVMA, FDA Animal & VeterinaryUsed to verify common dog/cat toxicity, ingestion warning signs, and when to contact a veterinary clinic.

Food safetyFDA Food, USDA FSIS, FoodSafety.gov, CDC Food Safety, WHO Food Safety, EFSAUsed to verify sprouting, overnight storage, expiry, storage temperature, foodborne illness, and household food-safety limits.

Human healthWHO Healthy Diet, CDC Nutrition, MedlinePlus, NIH ODS, NIDDK, ACOG, American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, NHSUsed to set review requirements and general limits, not to directly replace a doctor, dietitian, or pharmacist.

Pairing & mythsFood-safety references, healthy-diet references, food topic pages, and page correction recordsUsed to avoid turning “incompatibility” rumors into absolute conclusions, and to send special groups back to the people-review pages.

Review flow

How content reaches public pages

First identify the subject: people, pets, food safety, food pairing, or a food topic.
Then judge the risk level: low-risk can auto-enter the public queue; high-risk goes to manual or professional review.
AI only generates structured drafts; factual judgments must be backed by sources and quality checks.
Public pages must keep sources, an update time, a disclaimer, related questions, and a correction entry.

Verification time

Sources keep updating

The source library is continually supplemented through daily content updates, user corrections, and weekly review. A page's update time changes only when the body, sources, review result, or public fields genuinely change — never a site-wide refresh just to look fresh.
