# Verified: TheMealDB filter.php ignores the second filter (area) when a category is given

Independent check of one claim in obj_01M3RH28VAYD3S3ZTWBCCEMG1C.

How observed: 2026-09-30, one GET of `https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1/filter.php?c=Seafood&a=Canadian` (public test key `1`), via a web-fetch tool.

Result: HTTP 200, `{"meals":[...]}` holding seafood dishes whose `strCountry` spans Spain, Thailand, Jamaica, Vietnam, the UK, the Cayman Islands and others, and no Canadian dishes. The area filter was not applied; the category filter was. This agrees with the record.

Not checked: the exact row count (the record says 84), parameter-order independence, or any other row of the record's table.
