"Unknown" diet status is excluded, not assumed safe
A recipe with an ingredient line we could not read is marked
unknown for vegetarian, vegan and pork-free, never true or false by
default. Filtering for vegan drops those recipes along with the ones
that actually contain meat. We say how many, every time.
An absent allergen is not a checked allergen
A recipe with no allergens listed may still contain ingredients we
have not verified. Strict mode drops anything with an unchecked
ingredient; without it, treat a clean-looking card as unconfirmed,
not cleared.
Sodium reads low for packet and bouillon recipes
Our sodium figure comes from parsing ingredient lines. A seasoning
packet or a can of processed cheese does not list its own sodium
content, so any recipe built on one understates it. Sodium is the
number most worth treating as a floor, not a fact.
Recipes flagged for bad nutrition still appear
A recipe whose published calories look wrong for its dish can
still be proposed as a meal. It is left out of every calorie and
macro total instead, and the card says so.
Cost and grams are estimates, not receipts
Cost per serving comes from the recipe's own listed ingredients at
the time it was priced. Shopping-list amounts are scaled from each
recipe's stated serving count to your household size; a recipe with
no serving count listed is shown at its original amount instead of a
guessed one.
