Clement

Clement writes and edits the guides you read on the Osana blog. The focus is deliberately narrow: how packaged food is actually made, what the ingredients on a US label mean, and how additives are regulated here compared with the EU.

How these guides are written

Every article starts from primary sources rather than marketing copy. Regulatory statements are checked against the FDA, EFSA, and the eCFR; health claims are checked against peer-reviewed research; and product guidance is framed as what to look for on a label, because formulations and availability change.

• Claims are linked to their source so you can verify them yourself.
• Product lists focus on label criteria instead of fixed rankings that go stale.
• When the rules change, the affected guides are updated and the date is shown.

Corrections

Food regulation and ingredient lists change often. If you spot something that is out of date or unclear, the fastest way to get it fixed is to reach out through the feedback option in the Osana app or on the website.
