What Hearth does
- You choose allergies during setup or in Settings → Food preferences. Hearth supports: Gluten, Shellfish, Fish, Dairy, Peanut, Tree nut, Soy, Egg, Sesame, Mustard.
- House recipes that contain those allergens are left out of your plans and suggestions. Where a recipe has a common swap (for example, dairy-free butter), Hearth may use it and label the swap.
- Imported recipes aren’t filtered, since you chose to save them. Instead, Hearth checks their ingredients and shows a warning with an icon and text when something conflicts with your household’s allergies.
- Grocery items keep the names from your recipes, like “dairy-free butter,” so you know what to look for.
What it can’t do
- Ingredient data can be wrong or incomplete. Allergens are worked out from each recipe’s ingredient list. An ingredient might be missing, named unusually or contain a hidden allergen (for example, some broths, sauces, spice blends and baked goods).
- Imports are read automatically. Recipes from websites and photos are parsed by software, including AI, which can misread a line or miss an ingredient. Check imported recipes carefully and fix anything that looks off in the editor.
- Products change. Brands change recipes and factories, and store product matches can be wrong. The product label is the only reliable source for what’s in a product and whether it may contain traces of allergens.
- Cross-contact isn’t tracked. Hearth doesn’t know about shared equipment, “may contain” warnings or how food is handled in your kitchen or by a store.
- Diets aren’t medical plans. Diet types like Keto or Low Carb are for meal planning, not for managing a medical condition.
Nutrition information
Nutrition facts in Hearth Pro are estimates calculated from general ingredient data and your serving size. Actual values depend on the products you buy, how you measure and how you cook. Don’t rely on them for medical purposes.
Not medical advice
Hearth doesn’t provide medical, dietary or nutritional advice. Talk to a doctor, allergist or registered dietitian about allergies, intolerances and special diets. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
