We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Beer in Finland — Sinebrychoff is the oldest still-existing commercial brewery in Finland and the other Nordic countries is incorrect; Carlsberg (1847) is older, and Stallhagen is older in Finland.
Beer in Finland — Finnish Beer Day (13 October) is a modern promotional event, not an established historical commemoration of Sinebrychoff's founding or the birth of Finnish beer.
Crispbread — The entry claims crispbread traditions date back to 'at least the sixth century in central Sweden', which is not a widely established historical fact and may be an invented or misattributed claim.
Domino (cookie) — The claim that the Domino brand was owned by United Biscuits, Danone, Kraft Foods, or Mondelez International is incorrect; the brand remained owned by Fazer throughout.
Ellen Svinhufvud cake — The claim that Ellen Svinhufvud coined the term 'Mother of the country' (Suomen äiti) is historically more commonly associated with Ester Ståhlberg, not Ellen Svinhufvud.
Ellen Svinhufvud cake — The magazine that published the recipe in 1956 was *Kotiliesi*, not *Kotikokki*.
Gravlax — The claim that the oldest known reference to gravlax is found in 1348 in Diplomatarium Norvegicum as the nickname of a man named Óláfr is unverifiable and likely incorrect; the Diplomatarium Norvegicum contains many documents, but the specific reference to 'Ól
Gravlax — The statement that gravlax may occasionally be cold-smoked after curing is inaccurate for traditional gravlax; gravlax is defined as cured (not smoked) salmon, and cold-smoking would make it a different product (e.g., cold-smoked salmon or lox).
The Hoito — The entry states the restaurant was established in 1918, but the Hoito Restaurant actually opened in 1919.
The Hoito — The entry says the building is now gone with new construction underway, but as of the last known information, the Finnish Labour Temple building still stands (though damaged by fire) and has not been demolished; new construction is not confirmed.
Joulutorttu — The earliest known recipe for joulutorttu does not appear in the 1755 edition of Cajsa Warg's Hjelpreda i hushållningen för unga fruentimber; the claim that it does is unsubstantiated.
Joulutorttu — The lore stating that joulutorttu developed from plum-filled pastries originating in England is not supported by established canon; the pastry's development is generally considered to have evolved from German or Central European influences via Sweden.
Kalakukko — The claim that Hanna Partanen's kalakukko bakery in Kuopio served American presidents and Soviet leaders is not verifiable and appears invented or exaggerated.
Kalakukko — The claim that combinations of potato and pork, or rutabaga and pork, are also used instead of fish is misleading, as traditional kalakukko is defined by fish as the primary filling, and these other versions are not standard kalakukko.
