Clinical review
Reviewer: Frances Arenhold, Registered Dietitian
Date of review: February 2023
Version: 11.16.376
Platform: Android
Comments: This app should not be used to source healthy, nutritional balanced, everyday recipes for children.
Not recommended: Recipes within this app do not go through an assessment process to determine their suitability for children. Majority of recipes are not nutritionally balanced (candy, cake, ice-cream, cookies) and would not be considered everyday foods. Navigating the app to find recipes which are nutritionally balanced is difficult due to the number of recipes and the unstandardised labelling of recipes.
Safety concerns: This app labels and categorises recipes as “healthy” when the ingredients or recipe should not be consumed everyday. This may mislead users to regularly offering foods and meals to children which should only be consumed occasionally and therefore encouraging unbalanced and unhealthy food intake for children.
New Zealand relevance: Yes. Users may be misled by the app labelling and categorizing food as “healthy” and suitable for children’s everyday consumption, when the food is not nutritional balanced or suitable for children to consume daily.
