Disclosure

Independence

Peanuts Direct is not affiliated with any sheller, broker, or peanut-trade association. We do not accept sheller sponsorship, paid content, or embargoed material. We do not allow pre-publication review by any party named in coverage.

Revenue

Revenue is from paid subscriptions and operator-submitted PO data exchange (PO submission unlocks the full Sheller Scorecard for 90 days). No sheller money. No affiliate links to sheller products. No referral fees.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site constitutes food-safety, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Sourcing decisions are your responsibility. Engage qualified counsel and a credible food-safety advisor before signing supply contracts.

Privacy

Submitted PO data is anonymized at intake (see methodology). We retain anonymized rows; we never publish identifiable individual submissions. Email subscriptions are stored encrypted; we do not sell or share subscriber lists.

Conflicts

Author conflicts — including any operator's role at a food-business adjacent to coverage — are disclosed in the author bio at /about. Authors recuse from coverage where conflicts apply.
