This Medical & Nutrition Disclaimer applies to all content on palatez.com, including recipes, nutrition figures, cuisine guides, and any descriptive labels such as “High-Protein,” “Keto-Friendly,” “Low-Carb,” or “High-Fiber.”
1. Not Medical or Dietary Advice
Content on this Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, a medical diagnosis, nutritional counseling, or a treatment recommendation, and is not intended to replace consultation with a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other licensed healthcare provider. Always consult an appropriate licensed professional before making dietary changes based on content from this Site — this is especially important if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a diagnosed medical condition (including but not limited to diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or a compromised immune system), are taking prescription medication (including weight-management or weight-loss medication, which can significantly change how your body responds to dietary changes), or are preparing food for a young child or elderly person.
2. Descriptive Labels Are Not Regulatory or Medical Claims
Where a recipe or category is described using terms such as “High-Protein,” “Keto-Friendly,” “Low-Carb,” “High-Fiber,” or similar, this is a general culinary descriptor based on typical ingredient composition, not a regulated nutrition claim, a medical claim, or a guarantee of any specific health outcome. These statements have not been evaluated by the Ministry of Health Malaysia, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or any other regulatory authority, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
3. Nutrition Information Is an Estimate
Nutrition figures shown on this Site (including calories, fat, carbohydrate, protein, and fiber) are estimates calculated from typical ingredient values and standard serving sizes, not from laboratory analysis of the specific dish, unless a recipe explicitly states otherwise. Actual values will vary based on the specific ingredients, brands, quantities, and preparation methods you use. Do not rely on these figures for managing a medical condition (including diabetes or a food allergy) without independent verification from a qualified professional or your own testing.
4. Allergen and Food Safety Risk
We cannot guarantee that any recipe is free of a particular allergen, including due to the risk of cross-contact during ingredient sourcing, processing, or your own kitchen preparation. Some recipes on this Site involve raw or undercooked ingredients — including raw or lightly cooked eggs (as in classic hollandaise, carbonara, tiramisu, or a raw-egg dip) or raw seafood — as part of a traditional or intended preparation style. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs, meat, poultry, seafood, or shellfish may increase the risk of foodborne illness, and this risk is generally higher for pregnant individuals, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. You are responsible for reading full ingredient lists, checking packaged-ingredient labels, using safe food handling and cooking practices, and consulting your own doctor or allergist if you have a known allergy, intolerance, or relevant medical condition.
5. No Warranty on Health Outcomes
We make no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy of nutrition or health-related information on this Site, and we are not responsible for any adverse health outcome, allergic reaction, foodborne illness, or injury arising from the preparation or consumption of any recipe, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable Malaysian law.
6. Medical Emergencies
If you are experiencing a medical emergency — including signs of a severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, anaphylaxis) or severe foodborne illness (high fever, dehydration, persistent vomiting) — seek emergency medical care immediately. Do not rely on this Site for guidance in an emergency.
