Editorial process

This process reflects the current CookNest Daily workflow after the June 2026 AdSense quality audit.

Topic selection

Choose a real household food-safety handoff such as cooling leftovers, packing a cooler, separating raw poultry, or cleaning a cutting board.

Collect official or primary references. FoodSafety.gov, USDA FSIS, FDA, and CDC are preferred for U.S. consumer food-safety topics.

Write the reader workflow: risk, measurement, tools, timing, discard rule, and exceptions for high-risk eaters.

Verify that cited links resolve and that claims do not exceed the source. Broken or weak sources block publication.

Check for thin copy, repeated boilerplate, missing stop rules, missing internal links, or generic AI-like paragraphs.

Use only relevant article images. Avoid meaningless placeholders, fake text, logos, hands/faces, and confusing UI-style visuals.

Run the static build, open key pages, confirm indexable metadata, and check that post images load.

Re-audit older articles for source freshness, repeated patterns, thin sections, and AdSense readiness before resubmission.
