7. Health and nutritional information
- You are responsible for your own health. PickyEating is not a medical or health organization and we will not provide you with any medical/health advice or diagnosis. The purpose of the Service is solely to help our users to translate from digital format what the food contains. Information made available through the Service and by our selected business partners shall solely be used for recreational and educational purposes. Although Validoo verifies nutritional information found in our database, PickyEating cannot guarantee that the information is accurate, reliant or complete.
- The functionality of the Service is based on labels that lists the ingredients on pre-packaged food. The food producers are responsible for the digital product information. For some products/trademarks the allergen information is provided in a field named “allergen information”. For other products/trademarks, the information is provided solely on the label on the packaging listing the ingredients.
- PickyEating only has the ability to match Users’ profiles with the products/trademarks where the field “allergen information” is available in digital format. In cases where allergen information is provided solely on the label listing the ingredients a yellow warning triangle is displayed and the User must check the packaging himself.
- PickyEating’s ambition is that all information in the mobile application should be as correct and as up to date as possible. However, PickyEating cannot guarantee that all information is correct and cannot be held responsible for any actions based on the information we provide. If you find information that you consider incorrect, we encourage you to contact us by using the contact details specified in clause 1, so that we may contact the information provider.
- PickyEating’s food profiles are currently based on the 14 ingredients/food groups, i.e. allergens, which cause the most severe allergic reactions and for which there are specific labelling- and information requirements. To this list we have added lactose. The available product information follows the National Food Agency’s (Sw. Livsmedelsverket) recommendations in accordance with https://www.livsmedelsverket.se/livsmedel-och-innehall/text-pa-forpackning-markning/allergimarkning1
- If you are allergic or oversensitive against any source of nutrition, you must check the scanned information carefully and make sure it is in accordance with the label listing the ingredients on the packaging. If the food contains ingredients from the list of allergens it should be clearly stated on the packaging.
- As an allergy sufferer you may need to avoid food labelled with ”may contain traces of” the relevant allergen. This is a warning label for ingredients without limitation value. At times, the levels of allergens may be non-existent and other times higher, and the same product may contain different levels on different occasions.
