Corrections

At Palateshift, we correct errors rather than delete content. When a substantive correction is made to an article, a note is added at the foot of the page. This note states that a correction was made and includes the date of the change. It does not specify the original error, to avoid perpetuating inaccuracies. This approach maintains a transparent record while ensuring the current text is reliable.

A substantive correction is one that alters a key fact, figure, or claim central to the article's point. This includes incorrect dates, mistaken product origins, erroneous market data, or misattributed trends. Minor typographical errors, such as a misspelled word that does not change meaning, or trivial formatting issues, are corrected silently without a note.

Readers can report a possible error by contacting us. To expedite review, please provide the full article address and quote the exact claim you believe is incorrect. Vague reports cannot be actioned. We verify all reports against our source materials. We aim to complete this review and implement any necessary correction within five working days.

The reference pages on Palateshift, such as those for a specific movement or ingredient, are updated as the world changes. When a trend we have documented evolves, or new definitive data emerges that alters the established narrative, we update the page substantively. A correction note is added only if the previous text was factually wrong at the time it was written. Ongoing evolution is treated as a standard update.

Our corrections process ensures the site remains a useful, accurate reference for tracking shifts across Asian markets, from retail and foodservice to packaged goods and cultural habits. We are committed to maintaining the integrity of our content over time.
