01AI Can Make Mistakes

The ingredient detection and recipe generation features in Frittu are powered by large language models (Claude by Anthropic). AI systems are powerful but not infallible. You should be aware that:

  • Ingredient identification may be incorrect. The AI may misidentify an ingredient, miss an ingredient entirely, or flag something incorrectly. Low-confidence detections are flagged for your review in the ingredient confirmation step โ€” always review these carefully.
  • Recipe suggestions may contain errors. AI-generated recipes are not written or reviewed by professional chefs or nutritionists. Cooking times, temperatures, quantities, and techniques may be inaccurate.
  • Nutritional estimates are approximations. Macro and calorie figures shown in recipes are AI estimates, not laboratory-measured values. They should not be used for medical dietary management.

02Allergen Safety โ€” Critical Information

If you have a food allergy, please read this section carefully.

What Frittu does - You provide your allergen list during onboarding and can update it at any time in your profile - Your allergen list is transmitted to the AI in every recipe generation request with an explicit instruction to exclude those ingredients - The ingredient confirmation step is mandatory โ€” it allows you to review and correct AI-detected ingredients before any recipe is generated

What Frittu cannot guarantee - **AI systems can make mistakes, including on allergen exclusions.** There is no AI system that can guarantee 100% accuracy on allergen filtering. - We cannot guarantee that every recipe suggestion will be safe for every person's specific allergy profile - Cross-contamination risks, brand-specific formulations, and hidden allergens in processed ingredients are outside the scope of what AI can reliably assess

Your responsibility **You must:** - Always read the full ingredient list of any recipe before cooking - Verify that every ingredient in a suggested recipe is safe for you to consume - Check product labels when purchasing ingredients - Not rely on Frittu as a substitute for medical advice regarding food allergies - Consult an allergist or dietitian for the management of serious food allergies

Severe allergies If you have a life-threatening allergy (e.g. to peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, or other high-severity allergens), you must apply your own independent verification to every recipe ingredient. **Frittu is not a medical device and should not be your primary safety mechanism for managing severe allergic reactions.**

03No Medical or Nutritional Advice

Frittu is not a healthcare application. Content generated by Frittu โ€” including recipes, nutritional information, and dietary suggestions โ€” is:

  • For informational and inspirational purposes only
  • Not a substitute for advice from a qualified medical professional, registered dietitian, or nutritionist
  • Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition

If you have a medical condition that affects your diet (diabetes, coeliac disease, kidney disease, etc.), consult your healthcare provider before using AI-generated recipes to guide your eating.

04The Ingredient Confirmation Step

Frittu includes a mandatory ingredient confirmation screen between scanning and recipe generation. This step exists specifically to address AI uncertainty:

  • Items identified with low confidence are flagged as "Needs your attention" in red
  • You must review, edit, confirm, or remove every flagged item before proceeding
  • The "Continue" button remains disabled until all flagged items are resolved

Do not skip or rush through this step. It is your primary opportunity to catch AI errors before they influence recipe suggestions.

05Fitness and Goal-Based Recommendations

Recipes are filtered based on the fitness goal you set in your profile (e.g. lose weight, build muscle). These recommendations are based on general principles (e.g. high-protein foods for muscle building) and are not personalised medical advice. Results vary based on individual factors including health status, activity level, and overall diet.

06Third-Party AI Provider

Frittu's AI features are powered by Anthropic's Claude models. AI technology is rapidly evolving and subject to updates. We continually evaluate the accuracy and safety of our AI integrations, but cannot make absolute guarantees about the output of third-party AI systems.

07Feedback and Reporting

If you encounter a recipe suggestion that appears to contain an ingredient you are allergic to, or any other safety concern:

  • Use the thumbs-down rating on the recipe to flag it
  • Contact us immediately at safety@frittu.app

We take all safety reports seriously and investigate them promptly.
