Found an error? Tell us — properly.
The Pantry Files exists because most spice content repeats numbers nobody traced. So an error here matters more than an error somewhere that never made the claim.
If a figure, date, study or brand name looks wrong, send it with which video or page it appeared in and, if you have one, the source you are going by. Corrections get made on the page, and where a video is wrong we say so rather than quietly deleting it.
We would rather be corrected by you than keep a wrong number.
Want us to investigate something?
There is a form for that, and it is a better route than email because it asks the one question that actually helps: what have you heard about the thing. That is usually where the file starts.
Spices, herbs, vegetables, oils — anything in the kitchen.
Open a file →Delete my email address
Say the word and it is gone, usually within a few days and always within 30. No reason required. The same address will also tell you exactly what is stored, if you would rather see it first.
Full detail on what is collected and why is on the privacy and disclosure page.
Who you are writing to
The Pantry Files is an independent publisher of short videos and written guides about what is really in the food on your shelf — the history, the science, and the safety checks worth knowing.
It is small. Replies come from a person, not a helpdesk, and not always quickly.
What we cannot help with
- Anything medical. We are not doctors, dietitians or pharmacists, and we cannot advise on your health, your medication or whether something is safe for you. That conversation belongs with a professional who knows your situation.
- Telling you if a specific jar in your cupboard is contaminated. We report published testing; we do not test products ourselves.
- Paid placement. Products are picked to match what the videos actually say, and that is not for sale.
