Food & Nutrition Disclaimer

Allergy Alerts

Allergy alerts displayed in SnapMeals are not guaranteed to be complete or accurate. Allergen detection relies on ingredient text parsing, barcode data, OCR text extraction, and AI analysis — all of which can contain errors, omissions, or outdated information.

Do not rely on SnapMeals for life-threatening allergy decisions. Always read the actual food packaging and consult your doctor or allergist.

Nutrition Label Scans

Nutrition label scans use optical character recognition (OCR) which may contain mistakes, especially with blurry, damaged, or unusual label formats. Extracted values may be incorrect or incomplete.

Barcode Data

Barcode product data is sourced from community and public databases that may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Not all products are available in these databases.

AI-Generated Recipes & Meal Plans

AI-generated recipes, meal suggestions, ingredient substitutions, healthier swaps, and budget meal ideas may contain unsuitable, inaccurate, or inappropriate ingredients. Always verify recipes and ingredients before preparing and consuming food.

Health Scores & Dietary Labels

Health scores (“Great Choice,” “Okay Choice,” “Watch Out”) and dietary labels (“Appears,” “May be”) are algorithmic estimates and are not medical assessments.

Cost Estimates

Budget meal costs displayed in SnapMeals are estimates only. Actual food costs vary by location, store, season, and availability.

Always Verify Before Eating

Users must always verify ingredients, allergens, nutrition facts, and expiration dates directly from official packaging or trusted sources before eating.

Seek Professional Advice

If you have allergies, medical conditions, pregnancy, diabetes, kidney disease, eating disorders, or special diets, consult a qualified health professional before making dietary changes based on SnapMeals information.

Emergencies

In a medical or food safety emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. SnapMeals is not an emergency service.
