Effective date: July 16, 2026
Last updated: July 16, 2026

MealPing is a planning and organization tool. It is not a medical, nutrition, allergy, food safety, professional cooking, or emergency service.

## No Medical or Nutrition Advice
MealPing does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure disease. It does not provide medical, nutrition, dietary, pregnancy, child health, elderly care, immunocompromised-person, or allergy advice. Consult qualified professionals when needed.

## Recipes and Ingredients May Be Wrong
Recipes, AI outputs, ingredient lists, servings, steps, categories, preparation times, and cooking times may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable. Always review recipes before cooking or serving.

## Allergens and Cross-Contamination
MealPing cannot guarantee allergen information. Allergens, traces, cross-contamination, supplier changes, production changes, labeling changes, and preparation risks may not appear in the App. Official product packaging and producer information take priority.

## User Responsibility
You are responsible for checking allergies, intolerances, medical diets, religious restrictions, pregnancy-related restrictions, child safety, and other dietary needs. Do not rely on MealPing as your only source.

## Quantities and Conversions
Amounts and unit conversions may be rounded, approximate, unsupported, or based on user-entered data. You are responsible for tracking and updating quantities for ingredients, leftovers and pantry items when food is purchased, used, cooked, moved or discarded. Verify quantities before shopping, cooking, or serving.

## Expiration and Storage
Expiration dates, low-stock data, pantry status, and reminders are aids only. “Best before” and “use by” are different. MealPing cannot assess smell, taste, temperature, storage, broken cold chain, bacterial growth, packaging, or actual quality.

## Pantry and Shopping Lists
Pantry status depends on user updates. Automatically generated shopping lists can miss items, include extra items, or use wrong quantities. MealPing does not guarantee that a store has an item in stock.

## Higher-Risk Groups
Take extra care when cooking for children, pregnant people, elderly people, immunocompromised people, and anyone with allergies, intolerances, medical diets, or health conditions.

## Emergencies
For acute allergic reactions, food poisoning, or medical emergencies, contact local emergency services immediately.

## Mandatory Rights
This disclaimer applies to the maximum extent permitted by law and does not limit rights that cannot legally be limited.
