3. AI-generated content
Recipes, images, and suggestions generated by FridgeCuisine are produced by artificial intelligence. While we strive for quality and safety, we cannot guarantee accuracy, nutritional correctness, or suitability for every dietary need.
Food safety: Always use your own judgment when cooking. Verify cooking temperatures, allergen information, and expiration dates of ingredients. FridgeCuisine is not a substitute for professional culinary or medical advice.
AI-generated content may be imperfect, inconsistent, or culturally inappropriate. You are responsible for reviewing and adapting any recipe before preparing it.

FridgeCuisine, its logos, branding, software, and all original content (excluding user submissions) are the property of FridgeCuisine and its licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
AI-generated recipes and images are provided for your personal, non-commercial use within the Service. Commercial redistribution of generated content outside the Service requires explicit permission.
