Tomato juice — The claim that sweeteners are not prohibited by U.S. FDA standards of identity is incorrect; the FDA standard for tomato juice (21 CFR 156.145) does not permit sweeteners, only salt and acidulants.
Shortcake — The earliest printed mention of 'short cake' is stated as 1588 in The Good Huswifes Handmaid for Cookerie in her Kitchen, but the 1588 edition does not contain a recipe for 'short cake' and the earliest known mention is often cited as 1594 or later.
Shortcake — Xiting Shortcake is described as a Chinese baked good from Jiangsu Province made since the Qing dynasty with 18 layers, but it is actually a crisp cracker or wafer, not a layered baked good comparable to Western shortcake, and the number of layers is not a sta
Tart — The entry claims 'The French word tarte can mean either pie or tart' without noting that in French culinary tradition, 'tarte' typically refers to an open-faced pastry while 'tourte' or 'pâté en croûte' denotes a fully enclosed pie, making the statement mislea
Tart — The entry states 'Enriched dough, like shortcrust, is believed to have come into common use around 1550, about 200 years after pies' with a specific year and relative dating not reliably supported by authoritative sources.

Orange juice — The lore states that frozen concentrated orange juice was 'released three years after the war ended' (i.e., 1948), but the first successful commercial product appeared in 1945, making the 1948 date too late for the initial release.
Pepsi — The entry claims Pepsi became the first American consumer product produced, marketed, and sold in the Soviet Union in 1974, but this is disputed; other American products had been sold there earlier, and the claim of 'first' is oversimplified.
