2. AI Meal Plan Disclaimer

⚠️ Important — please read

Meal plans generated by ShapShop are created by artificial intelligence and are for general meal planning convenience only. They are not a substitute for professional dietary, nutritional or medical advice.

  • Do not rely on AI-generated meal plans to manage any medical condition, allergy, or dietary disorder
  • Always verify ingredient safety if you or a family member has a known allergy or intolerance
  • Nutritional information shown is estimated and may not be accurate
  • ShapShop is not a registered dietitian, nutritionist, or healthcare provider
