Health & Allergen Disclaimer
Read this before relying on Right Byte for meal planning around medical conditions or allergies.
Right Byte is informational, not medical advice
Right Byte is a meal-planning tool. It is not a healthcare provider, registered dietitian, allergist, or any other licensed medical professional. The information shown in the app — including the curated restriction library, AI-generated recipes, nutrition estimates, and ingredient classifications — is educational and informational only.
Always consult a qualified medical professionalabout dietary changes, allergies, conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, GERD, or anything else where food affects your health. Don’t change medications, modify a prescribed diet, or self-treat based on what the app says.
AI-generated content can be wrong
Recipe ingredients, preparation steps, restriction tagging, and nutrition figures are generated by AI (Anthropic Claude) and may be inaccurate or incomplete. Examples of failures we’ve seen:
- An ingredient listed as “tomato sauce” without disclosing it contains anchovy paste.
- A “gluten-free” tag missing soy sauce as a wheat ingredient.
- A nutrition estimate that’s off by 30% from a verified source.
- A serving-size that doesn’t match what the recipe actually produces.
These mistakes are uncommon but they happen. Verify ingredients yourself, especially for anyone in your household with a serious allergy.
Allergens — your responsibility, every time
For anyone with an IgE-mediated food allergy (peanut, tree nut, shellfish, milk, egg, soy, wheat, fish, sesame), the consequences of a missed ingredient can be life-threatening. Always:
- Read the actual ingredient list of every product you buy. Manufacturers change formulations without notice.
- Check “may contain” and “processed in a facility with” warnings.
- When eating out, communicate the allergy to staff in person; don’t rely solely on a meal plan from this app.
- Carry prescribed emergency medication (e.g. epinephrine) per your allergist’s plan.
Right Byte’s allergy filtering is a useful starting point, not a final safety check. We do not guarantee that a recipe or product flagged as “safe” for an allergy is actually free of that allergen.
Conditions with strict dietary management
Some conditions in our restriction library require careful clinical management — chronic kidney disease, heart failure, diabetes, IBD, gout, POTS, and others. The library entries provide general educational information only. Work with your healthcare team for personalized advice; don’t change therapy or restriction targets based on what the app suggests.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy nutrition guidance can change as research evolves. The information in our library reflects general consensus at the time of writing but is not a substitute for guidance from your prenatal care provider. Confirm food-safety questions (mercury limits, raw foods, soft cheeses) with them.
Pet food
Pet-food recipes generated by Right Byte are starting points, not nutritionally complete diets. Consult a veterinarian before transitioning a pet to homemade food, especially for puppies, kittens, pregnant animals, and pets with chronic conditions. Improperly balanced homemade diets can cause serious deficiencies.
Limitations
We provide this disclaimer to make our limitations explicit. By using Right Byte, you acknowledge that you understand these limitations and accept responsibility for verifying critical information yourself. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for harm resulting from reliance on information shown in the app.
