Check a published version of the guidance

Public records let you check which version of a piece of guidance was recorded and when. The records below apply to the specific content they identify.

How the check works

We create a digital fingerprint from the guidance. Changing the content changes its fingerprint.

For content with a public record, we record that fingerprint through the Hedera Consensus Service, which provides a public timestamp. We can then compare the content's fingerprint with the one recorded earlier.

A match confirms that the version being checked matches the recorded fingerprint. Scientific accuracy, external expert review, and health benefits require separate evidence.

Published records

Each row identifies a content version, its publication date, a link to the public record, and the result of the latest recorded check.

The list covers the records available here. It does not establish that every recommendation has a public record.
