Terms of Use

Last Updated: DEC 2, 2022

By using the site, you indicate your agreement to these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Your continued use of the Site will signify your agreement to the changes. 

Disclaimer: We Do Not Provide Medical Advice

All content on the Site is created in good faith and for informational purposes only. 

Neither the Site, HealthyRecipes101.com, nor the Company, Healthy Kitchen 101 LLC, is a medical organization. We do not provide medical advice. Our content does not constitute a medical diagnosis, nor does it substitute for specialist consultations, evaluations, or treatments. 

The reader is urged to seek nutritional or medical consultation from qualified health care professionals prior to any decision to alter their current diet. 

Our Intended Audience

The content on the Site, which includes but is not limited to the recipes, cooking instructions, and health or nutrition information, is intended for healthy adults who have no allergies or medical concerns. 

Please do not use a recipe if you have a sensitivity or allergy to any of its ingredients. 

The Site occasionally includes recipes that include alcohol. This content is intended for those 21 years of age or older. 

How We Define a “Healthy Recipe”

The recipes on the Site are developed in accordance with our Nutrition Guidelines for Recipes and Meal Plans (the Guidelines). 

Among other healthy eating factors, the Guidelines specify the maximum amount of energy (calories), saturated fat, and sodium we can include in a given recipe. A “healthy recipe,” by our definition, is one that stays within those restrictions. 

Each of the recipe categories (main dish, side dish, drink, etc.) also has its own limits of those three dietary components. This is so that when you combine the recipes to make a complete meal plan for the day, you won’t exceed the daily limits defined by the Guidelines.

We may label our recipes, or introduce certain ingredients and cooking methods as “heart-healthy,” “weight-loss,” or “low-carb” based on the amount of certain macro and micronutrients. Those labels are intended to help you find recipes that might be suitable for your dietary needs. Because everybody reacts differently to foods, the labels should be treated as being for reference only.

How We Calculate Nutrition in Recipes

At Healthy Recipes 101, we use online apps to calculate the nutritional content of our recipes. These figures should only be considered estimates. 

Due to the use of different nutrition calculators, you may see small inconsistencies between the nutrition information provided in the tables in the middle and at the end of the articles (calories: ±10, saturated fat: ±1g, sodium: ±10mg). These differences are nutritionally insignificant and do not negate the nutritional claims made in the articles.

The nutritional values of a dish can fluctuate following changes to the ingredients (product type, product origin, freshness, etc.) and in the ways they are processed. More accurate nutritional information in any given recipe should be calculated from the actual ingredients used. 

As the preparer, you assume full responsibility for ensuring accurate nutritional information and content in your recipe.

Our Instructions and Cooking Tips

We may introduce cooking tips and instructions that involve the use of various foods, spices, other ingredients, kitchen equipment, and appliances. This content is created for general-information purposes only and does not constitute or replace advice from a qualified professional.

The process and results may vary due to the differences between equipment, food ingredients, energy conditions, weather conditions, and other factors. There may also be regulations that prohibit the purchase or use of certain food or equipment in certain localities.

The readers are urged to refer to the local regulations, user’s manuals, manufacturer’s instructions, and consult qualified professionals before using their foods and appliances.

By using the Site, you agree not to assert any claims, pursue legal action, or make allegations against us, the owners, writers, editors, publishers, and our affiliates at the Site and the Company for any damages and/or injuries resulting from your pursuit of activities or ideas presented and published by us.

Brand Names in Editorial Content

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

8. Comply with a legal obligation.
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Calling us at (408) 493-0350, or

Emailing us at: privacy@healthykitchen101.com

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also designate a third party to exercise your rights – an authorized agent – however we will require written proof of the authorization and potentially proof of your identity.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. 
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

You have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, click the opt out link provided in the footer of this page (“Do Not Sell My Information”) and turn off “Sale of Personal Data”. You or your authorized agent can also send a request via email to us at privacy@healthykitchen101.com.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back into personal information sales at any time by contacting us and making the request.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
