If you see something that doesn't seem up to date or accurate, please contact us at marthaeditors@dotdashmdp.com. We uphold the principles of the Dotdash Meredith Content Integrity Promise including the following editorial policies: Fact Checking As part of the editorial process, our writers interview relevant, qualified sources for stories, then verify all information and data included in their final stories. We strive to provide proper context and background information to help our readers. All stories are then reviewed and edited by at least two editors; we assess content for grammar, accuracy, readability, and relevance. All recipes created for and featured on MarthaStewart.com are tested until perfected by our food editors and test kitchen for accuracy and clarity. If you have noticed an issue with a specific piece of content, please bring it to our attention at marthaeditors@dotdashmdp.com. Corrections Our editorial team is committed to producing high quality, factual content. If there is a factual error in a story, we will correct it as soon as possible. All corrections will be clearly labeled as such and will include what changes were made and when. When an article is factually correct but the language is not as clear or detailed as necessary, the story may be updated without an editor's note. Timely news stories generally cover a distinct event in time, so they are not routinely updated. Our editorial team consistently reevaluates and updates evergreen content to ensure it is timely, accurate, and relevant. The date-stamp at the top of each article reflects when it was last updated. If you believe you have found an error, please notify us at marthaeditors@dotdashmdp.com. Sourcing Our editorial staff adheres to strict standards for sourcing information. We rely on current and reputable primary sources, such as expert interviews, government organizations, and professional and academic institutions.
