Medical & Content Disclaimer

1. Traditional Korean Medicine (Donguibogam) Information

BARU includes references to traditional Korean medicine (hanbang / 한방), particularly information derived from or inspired by the Donguibogam (동의보감), a historic Korean medical text compiled in the 17th century.

• This traditional medicine information is presented solely for cultural and educational reference. It reflects historical Korean perspectives on food and health and should be understood in that context.
• It does not constitute modern medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.
• Traditional health properties attributed to ingredients (such as "warms the body" or "aids digestion") are based on historical texts and cultural traditions, not necessarily validated by contemporary clinical research.
• Do not use this information to self-diagnose, self-treat, or replace guidance from licensed healthcare providers.

2. Not Medical or Nutritional Advice

Nothing on this Service should be interpreted as:

• A recommendation for treating, curing, or preventing any disease or medical condition.
• Professional nutritional or dietary counseling.
• A substitute for the advice of a physician, dietitian, or other qualified health professional.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have existing health conditions, take medications, are pregnant or nursing, or have known food allergies.

3. Nutritional Information

Any nutritional data, calorie counts, or macronutrient breakdowns provided alongside recipes are approximate and offered for general informational purposes only.

• Actual nutritional values may vary based on ingredient brands, preparation methods, portion sizes, and substitutions.
• We do not guarantee the accuracy of nutritional information.
• Individuals with specific dietary needs or medical conditions should not rely on these estimates and should consult a registered dietitian.

4. Allergen Warning

Korean cuisine frequently uses ingredients such as soy, sesame, wheat, and various fermented products. Even recipes labeled as "vegan" may contain allergens.

• We do not guarantee that any recipe is free from specific allergens.
• Cross-contamination can occur during food preparation.
• Always read ingredient labels carefully and verify with manufacturers if you have known allergies.

5. Recipe Content Accuracy

While we strive to provide accurate recipes and instructions:

• Some recipes are sourced from publicly available external websites and are attributed to their original creators.
• We cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any recipe, including ingredient quantities, cooking times, or techniques.
• Users follow recipes at their own risk and discretion.

6. Limitation of Liability

BARU, its operators, and contributors shall not be held liable for any adverse effects, health consequences, allergic reactions, or other damages that may result from the use of information, recipes, or traditional medicine references provided through the Service.
