Food Safety & Allergen Disclaimer

Last Updated: December 06, 2025

Consumer Notice: Your health and safety are our top priority. Please read this disclaimer carefully before relying on our personalization features or preparing any recipes.

1. General Food Safety

At Crazy Awesome Recipes, we want you to enjoy your food safely. We strongly recommend following standard food safety guidelines, including:

  • Safe Temperatures: Always cook meats, poultry, seafood, and eggs to the safe minimum internal temperatures as recommended by the USDA or your local health authority.
  • Hygiene: Wash hands, surfaces, and utensils frequently to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Storage: Refrigerate perishable foods promptly.

2. Allergen & Ingredient Disclaimer

The Burden of Verification: We offer tools to help you filter recipes based on specific allergens (e.g., "Peanut Free" or "Gluten Free"). These classifications are generated using a combination of manual entry and Artificial Intelligence (AI) review.

However, software is not infallible, and human error is possible.

  • Manufacturer Changes: We may tag a recipe as "safe" based on the ingredients we used at the time of testing. However, third-party manufacturers frequently change their formulations, facilities, and processing methods without notice. A product that was safe yesterday may contain allergens today.
  • Read the Label: You are solely responsible for reading the packaging and ingredient labels of every product you purchase. Do not rely solely on our website's tags or descriptions.
  • Cross-Contamination: Even if a recipe does not contain a specific allergen, cross-contamination can occur in your own kitchen or in the manufacturing facilities of the ingredients you buy.

3. Religious & Dietary Preferences

We provide filtering options for religious or lifestyle preferences (e.g., Halal, Kosher, Vegan). These tags represent our best-effort interpretation of the ingredients.

  • No Official Certification: Crazy Awesome Recipes is not a religious authority. The presence of a "Kosher" or "Halal" tag on a recipe does not constitute official certification.
  • Ingredient Verification: While we try to suggest products that are certified, it is your responsibility to ensure that the specific brand and batch of ingredients you use meet your personal or religious dietary standards.

4. Nutrition Data

The nutritional information provided on our recipe cards (Calories, Macros, etc.) is calculated automatically using AI and generic ingredient databases.

These figures are estimates only. They can vary significantly based on:

  • The specific brands of ingredients you use.
  • Exact measurements and portion sizes.
  • Changes in ingredient formulations over time.

If you require precise nutritional data for medical reasons, you must calculate the values using the exact ingredients you are using or consult a medical professional.

5. No Medical Advice

The authors of Crazy Awesome Recipes are not dietitians, nutritionists, or medical professionals. The content on this website is for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
