Who: Guides are published by the Fuudster editorial team for independent UK restaurant and takeaway operators.
How: We check claims against current regulator, government, platform and search-engine sources, then link them so owners can verify the detail.
Why: Platform terms and food-business obligations change. The evidence date shows when the guidance was last materially checked; it is not legal or financial advice.
Corrections: If a provider rule or official source changes, the affected guide should be rechecked and its visible date updated only after a material revision.
