Our mission is to inspire and empower home cooks, food enthusiasts, and sustainability advocates through high-quality, engaging content. However, the Services are provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the Services will meet your specific needs, expectations, or requirements, or that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Your use of the Services is at your own risk, and you are responsible for verifying the suitability of our content for your purposes. This Disclaimer applies to all content on the Services, including recipes, articles, images, videos, user-generated content (e.g., comments), and advertisements.

2. Recipe and Cooking Content Disclaimer

2.1 Accuracy and Testing

Our recipes are meticulously developed and tested by our culinary team, led by experienced chefs and recipe developers, to ensure quality, reliability, and accessibility for cooks of all skill levels. However, cooking is an inherently variable process, and outcomes may differ due to factors such as:

• Ingredient Variations: Differences in ingredient quality, freshness, or brands may affect taste, texture, or appearance.
• Equipment Differences: Variations in cooking equipment, such as oven calibration, stovetop heat, or pan materials, may impact results.
• Environmental Factors: Altitude, humidity, or kitchen conditions can alter cooking times or outcomes.
• User Skill Level: Individual cooking experience and adherence to instructions may influence success.

We do not guarantee that recipes will produce identical results for every user. You are responsible for following recipe instructions carefully, making adjustments as needed, and ensuring proper cooking techniques. For assistance with recipes, contact our culinary team at recipes@everyfood.online, and we’ll provide guidance based on our expertise.

2.2 Substitutions and Modifications

Many of our recipes include suggestions for ingredient substitutions (e.g., gluten-free flour, dairy-free alternatives) to accommodate dietary preferences. However, we cannot guarantee the outcome of substituted or modified recipes, as these changes may affect flavor, texture, or nutritional content. If you modify a recipe, you do so at your own risk. Consult our recipe support team for advice on substitutions to ensure the best possible results.

2.3 Food Safety

Food safety is paramount at EveryFood.online. Our recipes include general guidance on safe cooking practices, such as recommended cooking temperatures and storage instructions. However, you are responsible for adhering to food safety guidelines, including:

• Cooking foods to the appropriate internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness (e.g., poultry to 165°F/74°C, as recommended by the USDA).
• Storing ingredients and prepared dishes properly to avoid spoilage or contamination.
• Maintaining a clean cooking environment to prevent cross-contamination of allergens or bacteria.

We are not liable for any illness, injury, or damages resulting from improper food handling, preparation, or storage. For authoritative food safety information, refer to resources from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at www.fda.gov or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at www.cdc.gov.
