Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Safe Plated.
What is Safe Plated?
Safe Plated is a meal planning tool that uses AI to generate weekly meal plans and recipes with allergen-aware ingredient substitutions. We analyze what job each ingredient does in a recipe (binding, aeration, fat richness, etc.) and find substitutes that perform the same role.
Is Safe Plated a medical tool?
No. Safe Plated generates recipe concepts and suggestions. It is not a medical device, and should not replace advice from your allergist, doctor, or dietitian. You must always verify all physical ingredients and labels yourself.
How does the substitution system work?
Instead of simple 1:1 swaps, Safe Plated identifies what role each ingredient plays in a recipe — for example, eggs provide 'binding' in baked goods. We then find a substitute that serves that same function (like flax eggs for binding). This produces better-tasting results than generic substitution.
Which allergens does Safe Plated cover?
We cover the 9 major allergens: dairy, egg, tree nuts, peanut, wheat/gluten, soy, shellfish, fish, and sesame. You select which ones apply to your household during onboarding.
How much does it cost?
Safe Plated costs $9.99/month (approximately $13 SGD). You can cancel anytime with no commitments. We use Stripe for secure payment processing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from the billing portal. You'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period.
What is the 'My Watchlist' feature?
My Watchlist is your personal notebook for tracking products you've checked. You can mark products as safe, caution, or unsafe and add your own notes. This data is private to you — we don't verify products on your behalf.

Why do some recipes show a confidence score?
Our AI generates recipes and then a separate, independent AI reviews them for allergen awareness. The confidence score reflects how thoroughly the review passed. Scores above 70 are published; below that, recipes are regenerated. This is an additional check, not a safety guarantee — always verify ingredients yourself.
How is this different from prompting free AI?
Safe Plated builds your full allergen profile once and applies it to every recipe. It cross-checks recipes against known allergen aliases (like casein for dairy, or lecithin for soy), remembers your preferences across sessions, and provides tools like label scanning, safety cards, and shopping lists. A free AI prompt starts from scratch every time and has no persistent safety net.
Where do the recipes come from and will they taste good?
Recipes are AI-generated using established cooking techniques and independently audited for safety. Substitutions are chosen based on what role each ingredient plays in the recipe — binding, aeration, richness — so the recipe works as a whole, not just with something removed.
