Source policy

Preferred sources

• CDC infant and toddler nutrition guidance for solids, foods to avoid or limit, and choking hazards.
• HealthyChildren.org from the American Academy of Pediatrics for pediatric feeding guidance.
• NHS guidance for foods to avoid and choking-risk framing.
• FDA or USDA guidance when fish, food handling, or food safety context matters.

How sources are used

Sources set the safety boundary. We then translate that boundary into caregiver-friendly serving notes without claiming personalized medical certainty.

Every generated food page includes a visible Sources reviewed section with publisher, title, URL, and retrieval date.

When guidance conflicts

If public sources differ or do not cover a specific food, we choose the more conservative wording or mark the topic as needing clinician guidance.
