CHEFINNIT POLICIES
Food Safety & Allergen Notice
Last updated September 2, 2026. Chefinnit connects customers with independent sellers on a live marketplace. Each seller—not Chefinnit—is responsible for lawful preparation, handling, labeling, and accurate safety communication.
Seller responsibility
Sellers must follow applicable food-safety, cottage-food, restaurant, catering, and mobile-vending rules in every place they prepare or sell food. That includes temperature control, sanitation, training, required permits, and truthful menus. A Chefinnit profile, verified badge, or tasting disclaimer does not transfer those duties to Chefinnit.
Allergens and shared kitchens
Food may be prepared where major allergens such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame are handled. Cross-contact can occur even when an item is described as free of an allergen. Sellers should disclose known allergens and preparation limits; customers should not treat tags alone as a medical guarantee.
Customer responsibility
If you have allergies, intolerances, or medical dietary needs, contact the seller before ordering, RSVPing to a tasting, or accepting an invoice. Ask about ingredients, oils, garnishes, shared equipment, and pickup or delivery timing. If the seller cannot safely answer or accommodate a restriction, do not order that item.
Tastings and complimentary events
Complimentary tastings and similar events may require allergen acknowledgements before RSVP. Those acknowledgements document your understanding of disclosed risks for that event; they do not create a warranty by Chefinnit or eliminate the seller’s duty to communicate accurately.
Reports and emergencies
Report inaccurate allergen claims, spoilage, or unsafe food through Chefinnit Messages, order records, or support@chefinnit.com. For suspected medical emergencies or severe allergic reactions, contact emergency services immediately. Chefinnit support is not an emergency service.
