4. The Service Is Informational Only — No Professional Advice

The Service may provide meal ideas, recipes, cooking steps, timing estimates, nutrition-related estimates, ingredient suggestions, shopping lists, dietary analysis, meal planning, portion guidance, or other food-related content (collectively, "Content").

ALL CONTENT IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. NOTHING ON THE SERVICE CONSTITUTES MEDICAL, NUTRITIONAL, DIETETIC, FITNESS, THERAPEUTIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.

You should consult qualified professionals (e.g., a physician, registered dietitian, allergist, or other licensed healthcare provider) before making any changes to your diet, exercise, health routines, or lifestyle—especially if you are pregnant, nursing, elderly, have any medical conditions, take medications, or have food allergies or intolerances.

We are not licensed healthcare providers, nutritionists, dietitians, or medical professionals. No provider-patient, counselor-client, or other professional relationship is created by your use of the Service.

  • improve your health, fitness, weight, body composition, athletic performance, or any other physical or mental outcome;
  • prevent, treat, cure, or mitigate any disease, condition, or ailment;
  • meet any specific nutritional, caloric, macronutrient, or micronutrient targets;
  • be accurate, complete, current, reliable, or error-free; or
  • be suitable for your particular circumstances, dietary needs, or health status.

Results (if any) vary significantly by individual. You are solely responsible for your own decisions regarding food, nutrition, and health.

BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COOKING, FOOD PREPARATION, FOOD HANDLING, AND FOOD CONSUMPTION.

You are solely and exclusively responsible for:

  • independently verifying all ingredients, nutrition information, allergens, and potential cross-contaminants before preparing or consuming any food;

  • confirming safe internal temperatures using calibrated thermometers and appropriate methods;
  • supervising children, pets, and other individuals in the kitchen; and
  • maintaining a safe cooking environment free from hazards.

DO NOT RELY ON THE SERVICE FOR ANY SAFETY-CRITICAL DECISIONS. If you have any food allergy, intolerance, sensitivity, or medical condition, you MUST independently verify every ingredient, preparation method, and process with qualified sources. If you believe you or anyone else is experiencing a medical emergency, IMMEDIATELY call emergency services (e.g., 911) or seek professional medical help.
