Last updated: March 22, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Can We Eat That ("the App", "the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use this Service.

2. Not Medical Advice — Critical Disclaimer

THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

The content provided by Can We Eat That — including all food safety ratings, ingredient analyses, recommendations, and information — is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is NOT intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

You should ALWAYS consult with a qualified healthcare provider, including your doctor, pediatrician, or a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), before making any dietary decisions while breastfeeding. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this App.

Every mother and baby is unique. Individual medical conditions, allergies, medications, and circumstances can significantly affect food safety during breastfeeding. This App cannot account for your specific medical situation.

3. Information Accuracy & Limitations

While we strive to provide accurate, evidence-based information sourced from published medical guidelines (including the CDC, AAP, FDA, WHO, LactMed, and other authoritative sources), we make no representations or warranties about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information provided through this App.

  • Medical guidelines change over time. Information may become outdated.
  • Our database is curated from published sources but may contain errors or omissions.
  • AI-generated analyses (marked with an "AI-analyzed" badge) are produced by artificial intelligence and have NOT been reviewed by a medical professional. These results may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading.
  • USDA nutritional data is sourced from the USDA FoodData Central API but is used for classification purposes only, not as definitive safety guidance.
  • Safety ratings ("safe", "caution", "avoid") are general classifications based on published guidelines for healthy, full-term breastfeeding infants. They may not apply to your specific situation.

Any reliance you place on information provided by this App is strictly at your own risk.

4. No Warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of this App and any information obtained from it is at your sole risk.
