Product transparency

How preferences and allergies shape your meal plan

Cooking with Robots saves the settings you choose, sends them into recipe generation, and checks generated recipe text again before a weekly plan is saved. That reduces obvious conflicts; it does not make a recipe medically reliable or eliminate real-world allergy risk.

What happens when a plan is generated

  1. 1

    Build the request

    The generator receives saved allergies, dietary rules, favorite cuisines, complexity, serving size, and current pantry items.

  2. 2

    Filter the result

    Before weekly-plan candidates are selected, the app checks recipe titles, descriptions, and ingredient names for the saved allergy and supported dietary terms. Matching recipes are removed.

  3. 3

    Build the week and gaps

    Surviving recipes are selected for variety. Their ingredients are compared with the pantry to produce a missing-item grocery list.

What the app cannot check

Text matching cannot inspect a packaged product's current formulation, voluntary “may contain” statement, manufacturing line, restaurant process, or your kitchen. It can also miss an unexpected synonym or an incorrect AI-generated ingredient.

The FDA identifies nine major U.S. allergens and explains that advisory “may contain” labeling is voluntary, no safe threshold has been established, and labels should be checked every time. FARE explains that invisible allergen transfer through cross-contact can be enough to cause a reaction.

Read every current ingredient and advisory label, even for a product used before.

Check substitutions, sauces, spices, oils, and optional toppings yourself.

Prevent cross-contact during storage, preparation, cooking, and serving.

For severe allergies or medical diets, follow your clinician’s plan rather than relying on generated recipes.
