LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Transparency in every bite.
The information and products provided on the Poondi Foods website are for general consumption and informational purposes only. By purchasing our products or using our website, you acknowledge and agree to the following disclaimers:
⚠️ Non-FSSAI Certified Status
As prominently stated across our platform, Poondi Foods is currently operating as a small-scale, homemade venture and is Not FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) Certified at this time. All products are prepared in a home-kitchen environment following strict personal hygiene standards, but they have not been evaluated or certified by government regulatory authorities.
1. Homemade & Natural Product Variations
Our powders, pickles, and traditional foods are 100% natural, homemade, and prepared in small batches. Because we do not use industrial machinery, artificial colors, or chemical stabilizers, you may notice slight variations in color, texture, and taste between different batches. These variations are a hallmark of authentic, handcrafted food and do not indicate a drop in quality.
2. Perishability and Shelf Life
We pride ourselves on using zero artificial preservatives. As a result, our products have a strictly limited shelf life:
- Podis & Powders: Generally up to 6 months.
- Pickles: Generally 3 to 4 months.
Customers are strictly advised to store products in a cool, dry place and to always use a clean, dry spoon. Poondi Foods is not liable for product spoilage resulting from improper storage, moisture exposure, or cross-contamination by the customer.
3. Health & Medical Disclaimer
While we emphasize health and use nutrient-rich traditional ingredients (like moringa, flax seeds, and traditional spices), our products are strictly dietary food items. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The "Key Benefits" listed on our product pages are based on traditional Ayurvedic knowledge and general nutritional information, not clinically proven medical claims. Always consult your physician before making significant dietary changes.
4. Allergen Warning
Our foods are prepared in a kitchen facility that regularly handles peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, mustard, wheat, dairy, and various whole spices. While we take care to prevent cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that any product is completely free of trace allergens. Individuals with severe food allergies should exercise caution and review ingredient lists before consumption.
5. Site Content Accuracy
We strive to ensure that product descriptions, pricing, and availability are accurate. However, typographical errors, pricing inaccuracies, or stock discrepancies may occasionally occur. Poondi Foods reserves the right to correct any errors, cancel orders affected by such errors, and update information at any time without prior notice.
