Corrections Policy
Data accuracy is the core of EatYay. We maintain an open, transparent workflow for reviewing and correcting any data discrepancies.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
While our system imports data directly from official USDA FoodData Central releases and verified restaurant nutrition disclosures, upstream updates, reformulated menu items, or transcription discrepancies can occasionally occur. When an error is identified, our technical and editorial team promptly inspects and updates the record.
2. How to Submit a Correction Inquiry
If you spot an inaccurate nutritional value, broken calculation, missing portion conversion, or culinary typo:
- Identify the Page: Note the exact item name and URL on EatYay.
- Provide the Reference: Cross-reference the official source documentation (such as the USDA FDC ID, official brand nutrition PDF, or manufacturer label).
- Email Our Team: Send your findings directly to our technical review team at hello@eatyay.com with the subject line "Data Correction: [Item Name]".
Our team reviews all data submissions within 48 business hours. Verified corrections are updated across the live platform during the subsequent static deployment cycle.
3. Upstream USDA Refresh Protocol
EatYay employs a non-destructive USDA refresh pipeline. When upstream USDA databases issue seasonal or annual updates, our system matches entities by stable source identity (FDC ID), preserving persisted URL slugs, canonical references, and editorial annotations without introducing broken internal links.
