Disclaimer & disclosures | Meal Prep Nook

Affiliate disclosure

Meal Prep Nook is set up to use affiliate links, but none are active right now: we don’t earn anything when you click a product link or buy something. If we add affiliate links in the future, we may earn a commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you, and in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance we will disclose this on every page that contains them.

Commissions will never influence which products we recommend or how they are ranked.

Amazon Associates Program

Meal Prep Nook is not currently a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, and links to Amazon on this site are not affiliate links. If the site joins the program, this section will be updated with Amazon’s required statement.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

AI-assisted content

Some content on this site is drafted with the help of AI writing tools. Drafts are reviewed, fact-checked against manufacturer information and other reputable sources, and edited before publishing. Unless an article clearly states that a product was used hands-on, our guides are research-based and do not describe personal testing.

Food safety and nutrition disclaimer

Our food-storage times, temperatures and handling tips are based on public guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service and FoodSafety.gov. They are general guidelines for healthy adults, not guarantees. Actual safety depends on how food was handled, cooked, cooled and stored, and on your fridge and freezer temperatures.

Keep your fridge at 40°F (4°C) or below and your freezer at 0°F (−18°C). An appliance thermometer is the only way to know.
Cook to safe minimum internal temperatures and check them with a food thermometer. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C).
When in doubt, throw it out. You cannot see, smell or taste most bacteria that cause foodborne illness.
People who are pregnant, older adults, young children and anyone with a weakened immune system face higher risk and may need stricter rules. Ask your doctor.
Recipes and meal plans are not tailored nutrition or medical advice. Check labels for allergens and talk to a registered dietitian or doctor about special diets.

We are not responsible for illness, injury or loss resulting from use of this information.

Not professional advice

We work to keep information accurate and current, but specifications, prices and availability change frequently. Check the retailer or manufacturer before buying. We are not responsible for errors or omissions, or for outcomes from using this information.
