Food & Nutrition Standards

Nutrition & Allergen Disclaimer

GUSTANA may provide nutrition estimates, dietary labels, ingredient information, allergen-related notes, recipe substitutions, and food-preference guidance.

This information is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not medical, nutritional, dietary, allergy-related, or other professional advice.

Last updated: September 19, 2026

01

Nutrition Information Is an Estimate

When nutrition information is provided on GUSTANA, it is generally an estimate based on available ingredient data, recipe quantities, and serving assumptions.

Actual nutrition values may vary because of:

  • Ingredient brands and formulations
  • Ingredient quantities and measurements
  • Recipe changes and substitutions
  • Serving size
  • Preparation and cooking methods
  • Garnishes, sauces, toppings, and optional ingredients
  • Data-source updates and calculation methods

Readers who need precise information should calculate nutrition using the exact ingredients and quantities they use or consult an appropriately qualified professional.

02

No Individualized Medical or Dietary Advice

GUSTANA does not provide individualized advice for weight management, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, digestive conditions, food allergies, pregnancy, eating disorders, or other medical or dietary needs.

Individual health needs require individual guidance

Readers should consult a physician, registered dietitian, allergist, pharmacist, or other appropriately qualified professional before making dietary changes related to a medical condition or individual health need.

03

Dietary Labels

GUSTANA may use labels such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, low-carb, high-protein, or other dietary descriptions.

These labels are intended as general guidance only.

A dietary label does not guarantee that a recipe is suitable for every person, medical condition, allergy, intolerance, religious practice, or dietary preference. Ingredient labels, brands, processing methods, cross-contact risks, and personal needs can vary.

Readers are responsible for checking the exact ingredients they use and deciding whether a recipe meets their requirements.

04

Major Food Allergens

Recipes published on GUSTANA may contain, or be prepared near, ingredients associated with the 9 major food allergens recognized in the United States:

Milk
Eggs
Fish
Crustacean shellfish
Tree nuts
Peanuts
Wheat
Soybeans
Sesame

This list does not include every ingredient that may cause an allergic reaction or intolerance.

Readers are responsible for identifying all ingredients relevant to their own needs, including less common allergens, additives, spices, flavorings, and manufacturer-specific ingredients.

05

Cross-Contact and Ingredient Changes

GUSTANA cannot guarantee that a recipe, ingredient, product, or recommended substitute is free from allergens.

Cross-contact can occur during growing, manufacturing, processing, packaging, transport, storage, preparation, or service.

Always check current labels

Ingredient formulations and labeling can change without notice. Always review the current package label, allergen statement, and manufacturer information before using an ingredient.

Do not rely only on a recipe title, dietary label, ingredient list, or previous product experience when managing an allergy.

06

Substitutions and Allergen Alternatives

A suggested substitution may change a recipe’s taste, texture, structure, cooking time, nutrition value, allergen profile, and safety.

Readers with allergies or dietary restrictions should verify every substitute independently. A substitute that appears suitable may still contain allergens, be produced in a facility with shared equipment, or be unsuitable for a particular health need.

07

Alcohol and Special Dietary Needs

Some recipes may contain alcohol, alcohol-based extracts, fermented ingredients, or ingredients that may not be appropriate for certain diets, medications, health conditions, religious practices, or age groups.

Readers are responsible for determining whether an ingredient is appropriate for their needs and for following applicable laws and professional guidance.

08
