Disclosure Policy – FoodTableRecipes.com
At FoodTableRecipes.com, transparency is one of our core values. We believe our readers deserve to know exactly how our content is created, how we earn revenue, and how partnerships may influence what appears on our website. This Disclosure Policy is designed to explain our practices openly, so you can trust that the recipes, reviews, and recommendations we share are honest and reliable.
We want you to feel confident that the information we provide is genuine, accurate, and aligned with our mission: to make cooking fun, simple, and accessible for everyone.
Why We Have a Disclosure Policy
Food blogs and recipe websites often include affiliate links, sponsored content, or brand collaborations. Without clear communication, readers may not always understand how these relationships work.
Our Disclosure Policy ensures:
- Honesty: We tell you when we have partnerships or financial interests in products or services we mention.
- Clarity: We explain how we earn money to support our site.
- Trust: We maintain credibility by being transparent with our community.
How We Earn Revenue
Running a high-quality food blog requires resources, from recipe testing to photography and website management. To cover these costs and continue offering free content, FoodTableRecipes.com may earn revenue in several ways:
1. Affiliate Links
Some of our posts include affiliate links to products such as kitchen tools, cookbooks, or ingredients. If you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission—at no additional cost to you.
We only recommend products that we genuinely believe in, have tested ourselves, or that we think will add value to your cooking journey.
2. Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may partner with brands to create sponsored recipes, reviews, or posts. Sponsored content will always be clearly labeled as such, so you know when we are working with a company.
We only collaborate with brands that align with our values and that we feel would genuinely benefit our readers.
3. Advertising
Our site may display ads through trusted third-party networks. These ads help us keep FoodTableRecipes.com free to use. While we do not control every ad shown, we make every effort to work with networks that provide safe, relevant advertising.
4. Product Reviews & Recommendations
If we review or recommend a product, we do so honestly. Even if a brand provides a free sample or compensation, our opinions remain our own. We never promote something we don’t believe in or wouldn’t use ourselves.
Our Editorial Integrity
It’s important to us that you know:
- We do not allow advertisers or sponsors to control our editorial content.
- All recipes, tips, and reviews reflect our own genuine experiences and opinions.
- Compensation may influence which products we feature, but it will never affect the honesty of our reviews.
- When a post includes affiliate links or sponsorships, we will make it clear with labels such as “This post contains affiliate links” or “This post is sponsored.”
Your trust is worth far more than any partnership.
Affiliate Program Participation
FoodTableRecipes.com may participate in several affiliate programs, including (but not limited to):
- Amazon Associates Program
- Kitchenware or food brand affiliate programs
- Cooking and recipe e-book platforms
This means we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links on our site. Again, this does not affect the price you pay—it simply helps us continue to create valuable content.
Product Recommendations
We want to be clear: just because a product is featured on FoodTableRecipes.com doesn’t mean it’s the only option available. There may be other brands or products that work just as well.
Our recommendations are based on:
- Quality and usefulness in the kitchen.
- Availability to our audience.
- Honest testing and research.
We encourage you to do your own research before making a purchase.
Sponsored Content Policy
When we create sponsored posts or recipes in collaboration with a brand:
- We disclose the sponsorship clearly at the beginning of the content.
- We maintain creative control to ensure authenticity.
- We only accept sponsorships from companies we respect and whose products we feel align with our readers’ interests.
You will always know when content is sponsored, so there’s never any guesswork.
User-Generated Content
FoodTableRecipes.com sometimes features comments, photos, or submissions from our readers. While we encourage participation, we cannot be held responsible for the opinions or claims made by users in these submissions.
We reserve the right to moderate or remove content that is offensive, inaccurate, or violates our community guidelines.
External Links and Third-Party Sites
Our site may include links to external websites for your convenience. Please note:
- We are not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of third-party sites.
- Clicking an affiliate or external link is entirely optional.
- We encourage you to review the policies of any external site you visit.
Your Trust Matters Most
We know that trust is earned, not given. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure transparency in everything we do. When you use FoodTableRecipes.com, you can expect:
- Honest recommendations backed by testing or personal experience.
- Clear disclosures whenever we may benefit financially.
- Respect for your choices when it comes to engaging with ads, affiliates, or sponsored content.
Your support—whether by visiting our site, trying our recipes, or shopping through our links—means the world to us.
Compliance with Guidelines
FoodTableRecipes.com complies with industry standards and regulations regarding disclosure, including:
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in the United States.

This ensures that we remain transparent and accountable in all our business practices.
