Health & Legal Disclaimer

1. Purpose of the Information

The Food API, a product of The Direct API Pte. Ltd., provides structured product information (ingredient lists, nutrition facts, allergen statements, dietary claims, and related attributes) derived from product labels and publicly available product information, normalized by our own pipeline. This applies equally to the free sample dataset and to the sample record shown on the site. It is offered for informational, educational, and developer purposes only, not as medical, dietary, or nutritional advice.

2. Limitations & Disclaimers

While we strive for high accuracy and never estimate or invent values, we make no representation or warranty regarding:

• The accuracy, completeness, or currency of any ingredient list, nutrition panel, allergen statement, or dietary claim. Manufacturers reformulate products and update labels at any time, so any label dataset can lag the shelf.
• The precision of derived fields such as normalized allergen tags, parsed ingredient trees, or category assignments.
• The suitability of any product for a particular individual, diet, or medical condition.
• Compliance with food-labeling or medical regulations in any specific jurisdiction.

3. Your Responsibility

Before relying on the data, and before surfacing it to end users, you are responsible for:

• Verifying the actual label on the physical product, especially for allergen and nutrition information.
• Making clear to your end users that the data is informational and that the physical package is authoritative.
• Consulting an appropriate healthcare or nutrition professional for any medical or dietary question.

This is especially important for individuals with food allergies or intolerances, individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone managing a medical condition through diet.

4. No Endorsement or Guarantee

The Food API does not endorse, guarantee, or warrant the safety, quality, or suitability of any product, brand, or ingredient referenced in the data. References to retailers or brands are factual provenance only and imply no affiliation or endorsement.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Direct API Pte. Ltd. shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, nor for any injury, allergic reaction, or adverse health effect arising from the use of any product identified in or selected via the data.

6. Your Acknowledgment

By accessing or using The Food API, you confirm that you understand it provides informational data rather than medical or dietary advice, and you assume all risks associated with its use.
