Search engine results showing up weird code

Topic summary

A user discovered strange code appearing in Google search results under their shop’s heading. The text in both the forum posts and search results appears corrupted or reversed.

Diagnosis:
Community members identified the issue likely stems from broken code in the meta description field or source code of the shop/collection page. One helper found code starting with a corrupted reference to “food of the gods” that needs to be removed or fixed.

Attempted Solutions:

  • Edit the meta description through ‘edit website SEO’ in the admin panel
  • Check for SEO apps or page-building apps that might be causing conflicts
  • Review and fix the page’s source code directly

Current Status:
The original poster confirmed they have minimal apps installed and cannot access the SEO edit box for their overall shop page (not a collection page). The issue remains unresolved. Another user later reported experiencing the same problem with their product pages, suggesting this may be a broader issue affecting multiple sites.
