Disclaimer & Safety Notice
⚠ MenuSafe provides free informational tools only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for reading a product's full label, confirming with the provider, or consulting a licensed allergist, dietitian, or physician.
What our tools are
Every MenuSafe tool is one of two things: a deterministic calculation (a conversion or scaler whose result verifies itself), or a transparent lookup of authoritative published data that we cite (for example the USDA cold-storage chart, or FDA/FARE allergen-name lists). We link the source on every cited tool so you can check it yourself.
What we do not do
We do not tell you whether a specific restaurant, dish, or product is “safe” for your allergy. Real-world safety depends on the specific item, location, batch, and preparation — variables no tool can judge. Where a tool touches allergens (for example the ingredient-name decoder), it flags terms we recognize and says so explicitly: a missing flag does not mean an allergen is absent.
For severe allergies
- Always read the complete ingredient label and the manufacturer's “Contains” statement.
- Confirm with the manufacturer or restaurant when your reaction risk is severe.
- Carry your epinephrine auto-injector and follow your allergist's guidance.
- Treat our tools as a convenience, never as a safety guarantee.
Accuracy
Cited-data tools reflect the source at the time we built them; published guidance can change. If a tool ever disagrees with its cited source, the source wins — and please tell us. Deterministic tools follow standard unit definitions.
No liability
MenuSafe and its operators are not liable for any reaction, illness, or harm arising from reliance on these tools. By using this site you accept these limitations and take responsibility for confirming information with the provider and your healthcare professional.
