Terms & Conditions

I Food U Food is a location-based platform only. We connect home cooks with local customers by providing a marketplace and communication tools. We do not prepare, cook, handle, package, deliver, or inspect any food listed on this platform.

I Food U Food is not a restaurant, food service establishment, or food delivery company. All food is prepared independently by individual cooks in their own kitchens. We make no representations or warranties about the quality, safety, taste, legality, or suitability of any food listed on the platform.

By using this platform, you acknowledge and agree that I Food U Food holds no responsibility for any disputes, disagreements, issues, injuries, illnesses, or damages arising between users, including but not limited to disputes between cooks and customers, cooks and drivers, or customers and drivers.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I Food U Food and its owners, officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for:

• Any foodborne illness, allergic reaction, or health issue resulting from food ordered through the platform
• The accuracy of food descriptions, ingredient lists, or allergen disclosures provided by cooks
• Any financial disputes, refund disagreements, or payment issues between users
• Any personal injury, property damage, or losses arising from food pickups or deliveries
• The conduct, actions, or omissions of any user, cook, customer, or driver
• Any violation of local, state, or federal food safety laws by cooks using the platform

All transactions are between individual users. I Food U Food acts solely as a technology platform and is not a party to any agreement between cooks and customers.

For Cooks

• You are solely responsible for the food you prepare, including its safety, quality, and compliance with local health regulations.
• You must disclose all allergens present in your food when posting a dish.
• You are responsible for maintaining a clean and safe cooking environment.
• You must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal food safety laws, including cottage food laws where applicable.

For Customers

• You are responsible for knowing what is in the food you are ordering.
• Always communicate directly with the cook about any food allergies, sensitivities, dietary restrictions, or concerns before placing an order.
• Do not rely solely on the allergen disclosures listed on the platform — always verify with the cook directly.
• By ordering food through this platform, you accept all risks associated with consuming food prepared in a non-commercial kitchen.

For Drivers

• You are responsible for handling food safely during transport.
• You must comply with all traffic laws and regulations during deliveries.
• I Food U Food is not responsible for any incidents that occur during deliveries.

Food allergies can cause serious and potentially life-threatening reactions. All cooks are required to disclose which of the following major allergens are present in their dishes: Dairy, Eggs, Fish, Shellfish, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat, Gluten, Soy, Sesame, and Alpha-Gal (Red Meat).

While cooks are required to list allergens, you must make sure you know what's in the food you are ordering. Cross-contamination may occur in home kitchens. If you have a severe allergy, always contact the cook directly before ordering. I Food U Food cannot guarantee allergen-free food and is not liable for any allergic reactions.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome Notice: Some individuals develop an allergy to red meat (beef, pork, lamb) after being bitten by certain ticks. Cooks must disclose if their dishes contain red meat products. Customers with Alpha-Gal syndrome should exercise extreme caution and communicate directly with the cook.
