The snack attack
Open accessAbstract
ARE THE TRANSNATIONAL food and drink manufacturing, catering, and allied industries—whose bottom lines depend on pathogenic products—really planning to help control and prevent worldwide public health calamities? This seems to be what Yach et al., who all work for PepsiCo, are suggesting. They claim support from other companies who they say have “a vital role to play alongside governments, nongovernmental organizations, and academics in addressing nutrition.” We examine what this may mean.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
