Description of Service
Archer Food Genius is an informational food research tool. The Service reads listed ingredients and nutrition facts from food product labels you photograph and cross-references them against publicly available nutrition and food-science databases including the FDA, USDA, NIH, CDC, and peer-reviewed scientific research to provide plain-English information about food products. The Service also provides side-by-side comparisons of food products, fact-checking of nutrition claims against peer-reviewed literature, meal suggestions with sourced nutritional reasoning, and allergen identification based on listed ingredients.
No Medical Advice and Regulatory Status
THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE, MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS, DIETARY COUNSELING, MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY (MNT), DIETARY PRESCRIPTIONS, OR CLINICAL NUTRITION GUIDANCE. ALL CONTENT IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
ARCHER FOOD GENIUS IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, PREVENT, MONITOR, OR MITIGATE ANY DISEASE OR MEDICAL CONDITION AND IS NOT INTENDED TO FUNCTION AS A MEDICAL DEVICE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
THE SERVICE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT A MEDICAL CONDITION, DIETARY RESTRICTION, OR NUTRITIONAL NEED, CONSULT A QUALIFIED PHYSICIAN, REGISTERED DIETITIAN, OR OTHER LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.
ARCHER FOOD GENIUS LLC AND ITS FOUNDER ARE NOT LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, REGISTERED DIETITIANS, OR MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS. INFORMATION PROVIDED REFLECTS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE RESEARCH DATABASES AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND.
Artificial Intelligence Disclosure
Archer Food Genius uses artificial intelligence to summarize, synthesize, and explain publicly available nutrition research and food label information. AI-generated outputs are automatically produced and may contain errors, omissions, hallucinations, or incorrect interpretations of source material.
YOU SHOULD INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE RELYING ON ANY AI-GENERATED OUTPUT. AI-GENERATED SUMMARIES DO NOT CONSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE SOLE BASIS FOR FOOD PURCHASING DECISIONS, DIETARY CHANGES, OR HEALTH-RELATED ACTIONS.
Certain outputs are generated through automated AI processing. These outputs are informational only and are not intended to make legal, medical, insurance, employment, or healthcare decisions on your behalf.
Food scan images and text queries you submit are transmitted to Anthropic PBC for AI processing. AFG does not use customer data to train its own AI models. Anthropic's API data handling policies provide that data submitted via the API is not used to train Anthropic's models by default. Review Anthropic's current policies at anthropic.com.
No Professional Relationship
Use of the Service does not create a physician-patient relationship, dietitian-client relationship, fiduciary relationship, or any other professional relationship between you and Archer Intel LLC or its founder. No communication through the Service constitutes professional medical, dietary, legal, or financial advice.
Database Limitations and AI Output Limitations
THE SERVICE RELIES ON THIRD-PARTY DATABASES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THAT MAY PRODUCE INCOMPLETE, INACCURATE, OR OUT-OF-DATE INFORMATION. ARCHER FOOD GENIUS MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Specifically, you acknowledge that:
- database information may not reflect the most current product formulation;
- the Service cannot verify whether a product has been reformulated;
- NOVA scores and allergen classifications are derived from third-party databases and may not reflect the actual product in your possession;
- AI-generated summaries may contain hallucinations or inaccurate outputs and you agree to independently verify all food label information before consumption; and
- ingredient proportion inferences are based on legal label ordering requirements and actual proportions may differ.
Allergen Detection Limitations
THE SERVICE'S ALLERGEN DETECTION FEATURE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL GUIDANCE ONLY AND IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. THE SERVICE CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE DETECTION OF ALL ALLERGENS OR CROSS-CONTAMINATION RISKS.
The Service matches listed ingredients against a database of known allergens. It cannot detect physical cross-contamination, undocumented manufacturing cross-contact, shared equipment risks, unlisted recipe alterations, mislabeled products, or allergens present in complex ingredient names or derivatives.
IF YOU HAVE A SEVERE FOOD ALLERGY, DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THIS SERVICE. ALWAYS PHYSICALLY INSPECT THE PRODUCT LABEL AND CONSULT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE CONSUMING ANY PRODUCT. BY USING THE ALLERGEN DETECTION FEATURE, YOU EXPRESSLY RELEASE ARCHER FOOD GENIUS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR ALLERGIC REACTIONS, ANAPHYLAXIS, INJURY, OR DEATH ARISING FROM UNDISCLOSED LABEL CHANGES, CROSS-CONTAMINATION, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE NOT REFLECTED IN THE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INGREDIENT DATABASE.
