Affiliate Disclosure & Editorial Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliance)

JerkPit.com participates in affiliate advertising programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at absolutely no additional cost to you.

These programs include (but are not limited to) the Amazon Associates Program and other retailer affiliate networks. Affiliate links are clearly labeled on product recommendation sections and are marked with disclosures such as "affiliate link" or similar language.

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships transparently on every page where affiliate links appear.

Our Editorial Independence Policy

Affiliate relationships do not influence our content. JerkPit.com's recommendations are based entirely on our independent research, testing, and editorial judgment. We never recommend a product solely because it earns a higher commission.

We do not accept payment from brands or manufacturers in exchange for positive reviews or placement in our recommended products sections. No brand can pay to be featured on JerkPit.com.

If we discover a product is no longer the best recommendation, we update or remove it — regardless of the affiliate commission it generates.

Review Methodology

Our product and ingredient recommendations are based on:

  • Direct personal testing by our editorial team whenever possible
  • Research into product specifications, ingredients, and manufacturing practices
  • Analysis of verified user reviews from multiple sources
  • Comparison of alternatives within the same price range and product category
  • Input from our advisory network of Caribbean cooking professionals
  • Consultation with authentic Jamaican recipe sources and culinary traditions

Recipe content is researched against primary sources including traditional Jamaican cookbooks, culinary archives, and documented practices from Boston Bay, Portland Parish, Jamaica. We do not publish recipes that have not been reviewed for authenticity.

Advertising Disclosure

JerkPit.com displays advertising through Google AdSense. These are automated ads served by Google based on the content of our pages and your browsing history. We do not control which specific ads appear.

Advertising revenue helps us maintain and expand our content. Advertising relationships have no influence on our editorial content, product recommendations, or article ratings.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

JerkPit.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates.

Sponsored Content

JerkPit.com does not currently publish sponsored content, paid posts, or native advertising. If this changes in the future, all sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" at the top of the content in compliance with FTC guidelines.

Content Accuracy

We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our content, including recipes, cooking times, temperatures, and nutritional information. However, all information is provided for informational purposes only. Cooking results may vary based on equipment, ingredient quality, altitude, and other factors.

If you notice an error in any of our content, please contact us and we will investigate and correct it promptly.
