Accessibility at Food Says Hi

Our commitment

Food Says Hi aims to meet WCAG 2.2 AA across the site. This is a working commitment, not a formal audit or certification — we keep checking the pages described below and fix what we find.

What the site does today

• Every control is a real link, button or native form element, so the whole site can be used with a keyboard. A skip link at the top of each page jumps to the main content.
• Links, buttons, form fields and menu toggles show a visible focus outline.
• Editorial photographs and guide artwork carry descriptive alt text, or an empty alt attribute where they are decorative; coded figures and status cards describe themselves in text.
• Pages are built to reflow at narrow widths and high zoom — checked at 320 px wide and 200% zoom.
• Interface motion is optional: with “reduce motion” on, smooth scrolling, entrance and hover animations switch off.
• Pages are server-rendered, so the text of every page is readable without JavaScript, with headings and landmarks in order.
• The mobile menu is a native toggle that announces its label and opens by keyboard.

Known limitations

• The live lookup on the scanner page needs JavaScript. Without it, a notice explains the limit and links to the guides.
• Lookup readings are generated text. The wording of the same uncertainty can differ between lookups, and a screen reader hears the result as written.
• Editorial photos and guide artwork are illustrative. They have alt text or are marked decorative, but they do not document a particular dish or serving.
• The Food Passport uses this browser’s local storage. Where storage is unavailable the page says so, but saved notes cannot be kept there.
