Medical Disclaimer

AfriDish generates personalised African meal plans based on nutritional science and the health conditions you disclose. This information is for general wellness and nutritional guidance purposes only.

Nothing on AfriDish — including meal plans, health reports, dish safety indicators, or any communications from AfriDish — constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

AfriDish is not a healthcare provider, medical practitioner, registered dietitian, or licensed health professional.

Before making any significant changes to your diet, especially if you have a diagnosed medical condition such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, or heart disease, consult your doctor, registered dietitian, or qualified healthcare provider.

Meal plans generated by AfriDish are not a substitute for personalised medical or dietary advice from a qualified professional who knows your complete medical history.

If your doctor has prescribed a specific diet or eating plan, follow that plan. Use AfriDish as a complementary tool, not a replacement for your doctor's advice.

•Diabetes: meal plans flagged as "safe for diabetes" are based on glycemic index and general nutritional guidelines. They are not a substitute for personalised diabetic dietary advice. Blood sugar responses vary between individuals.

•Hypertension: sodium recommendations are based on DASH diet principles. Individual responses to dietary sodium vary. Your doctor's specific guidance takes priority.

•Kidney disease: nutritional guidance for kidney conditions is highly individualised. Kidney patients must work with their nephrologist and renal dietitian — AfriDish guidance alone is not sufficient.

•Pregnancy: meal plans for pregnancy are based on general guidelines. Pregnant users must work with their obstetrician or midwife for dietary guidance throughout pregnancy.

•Medication interactions: AfriDish may flag known food-medication interactions as alerts. These alerts are informational only. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor about food interactions with your specific medications.

Nutritionists available through AfriDish are independent professionals. AfriDish does not employ them and does not supervise their consultations.

A consultation through AfriDish is with the nutritionist, not with AfriDish. AfriDish is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or outcomes of nutritionist advice.

Nutritionists on AfriDish are not medical doctors. For medical conditions, nutritionist guidance supplements but does not replace your doctor's advice.

While AfriDish strives to provide accurate nutritional information, nutritional content of dishes can vary significantly based on preparation method, ingredient sources, portion sizes, and regional variations.

The 1,200-dish database is based on published nutritional research and culinary databases. Some values are estimates. Do not rely solely on AfriDish nutritional data for precise dietary management of serious medical conditions.

AfriDish, Vital Rise Health LLC, and their officers, employees, and agents are not liable for any adverse health outcomes, injuries, or medical events arising from following meal plan recommendations.

You use AfriDish at your own risk. AfriDish's liability is limited to the subscription fees paid, as detailed in our Terms of Service.
