How our records work — and what they can't prove
Every box comes with its record. Here is who makes it, how, and where its limits are.
Who records it
We do — FullProof Kitchen, the business that cooks your food. Each fact on a record says how it was captured: measured (streamed from a thermometer or scale, or read from a photo of one), photographed, or self-recorded (we ticked it). Self-recorded is never shown as measured.
What a record can't prove
The data is recorded by the business. The release snapshot is anchored to an external timestamp, so it can't be changed afterwards without it showing. Our thermometers and scales are consumer-grade, checked weekly against a reference. Photos and clips are our own recordings, of the checks only; full footage is kept privately and shown to inspectors on request.
The seal
When a box is released, its record is sealed: a fingerprint of every fact is fixed and timestamped. "Verify" on a record checks that what you see matches what was sealed. A correction or a recall makes a new version; old versions stay visible.
Where outside facts come from
Product facts partly from Open Food Facts, available under the Open Database License. Nutrient values partly from the Canadian Nutrient File, and recall notices from the Government of Canada, both under the Open Government Licence – Canada. Every outside fact is checked against the package before we use it.
