5. AI-Generated Content & Accuracy Disclaimer
The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to provide many of its features, including recipe suggestions, nutritional information, ingredient recognition, dietary transformations, and cooking guidance. You acknowledge and agree that:

- Recipe scaling calculations, while based on scientific principles, are approximations and may not account for all variables in your specific cooking environment, equipment, or ingredient brands.
- Dietary transformations (e.g., vegan, keto, gluten-free, halal) are generated by AI and may not fully meet the requirements of specific dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or religious observances.
- Ingredient recognition via camera or barcode scanning is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. You should always verify identified ingredients, especially if you have food allergies or intolerances.
