About Us
The purpose of the Service is to market for sale dietary translation cards, in physical, digital and print-at-home formats, which are used for the purpose of conveying and communicating food allergies, intolerances, and special diets in a variety of languages (the “Products”).

In the preparation and testing of the Products we work alongside doctors, nutritionists, language experts, language translators, readers and reviewers, allergy experts, and others, to ensure the accuracy of the content on our Products. Despite our efforts to provide exceptional Products, we understand and acknowledge that there remains risk of misinterpretation, carelessness, and improper use of the Products, which we are unable to control.
