About Clean Body Cuisine Class
Empowering readers across the United Kingdom to make informed food choices through transparent label education and practical cooking guidance.
Our Story
Clean Body Cuisine Class was founded on a simple principle: food transparency matters. We recognised that thousands of people across the UK struggled to understand what they were actually eating. Confusing ingredient lists, misleading marketing claims, and conflicting nutritional advice left consumers frustrated and uncertain about their dietary choices.
Our mission began as a grassroots educational initiative, bringing together food writers, cooking educators, and nutritional researchers. We built practical tools to decode food labels, demystify ingredient terminology, and help home cooks prepare meals with confidence and clarity. Every article, every guide, every recipe on our platform exists to bridge the gap between what manufacturers claim and what consumers actually need to know.
Today, we've grown into a trusted editorial resource, reaching thousands of readers monthly. But our commitment remains unchanged: independent, jargon-free information that helps you take control of your kitchen and your choices.
Founded on Principles
- Editorial independence from food industry influence
- Evidence-based label interpretation guidance
- Accessible language for all readers
- Practical, actionable kitchen advice

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Clean Body Cuisine Class affiliated with any food companies?
No. We are completely independent. We accept no sponsorships, advertising revenue, or partnerships with food manufacturers. This independence ensures our content is driven solely by reader needs and scientific evidence, not commercial interests.
Who funds your editorial work?
We are a small, lean editorial team supported by dedicated readers who value our work. We reinvest all resources into research, fact-checking, and creating comprehensive label guides and recipes. Every article is written with quality and accuracy as our sole priority.
Can I contribute articles or recipe ideas?
We welcome reader feedback and article suggestions. If you have an idea for a label guide, a recipe to share, or a topic you'd like us to explore, please reach out to our editorial team. We review all submissions carefully.
How accurate is your nutritional information?
Our label guides are based on official UK food labelling regulations and ingredient databases. Dr Hayes and our research team fact-check all claims. However, manufacturers sometimes update ingredients without notice. We recommend always checking the latest label on the product you're purchasing.
Do you recommend specific food brands?
We don't endorse particular brands. Instead, we teach you how to read labels and evaluate any product yourself. Our goal is to empower you as an informed consumer, not to direct you toward specific commercial products.
Are your recipes tested by home cooks?
Yes. James and our recipe team test every recipe at least twice before publishing. We aim for simple, achievable cooking with readily available ingredients. Each recipe includes notes on ingredient sourcing and label-reading tips.
