Why Kidney Cart Sometimes Says “Unable to Verify”
Kidney Cart prioritizes accuracy over guessing.
If nutrition information is not clearly visible in the photo, Kidney Cart will mark it as “Unable to Verify” rather than estimate a value.
Accuracy First
Kidney Cart is designed to avoid guessing.
If a nutrition value cannot be clearly verified from the uploaded photo, the app will tell you rather than estimate a number.
Kidney Cart provides general food-label guidance, not medical advice. Always follow your doctor or renal dietitian's recommendations.
