+## Risks and Bias
+
+The dataset inherits several biases from the original Food.com source:
+
+- **Regional bias**: Western and American cuisines dominate, leading to under-representation of other cuisines.
+- **Popularity bias**: Highly rated and frequently interacted recipes are over-represented, which may skew recommendation models.
+- **Nutritional estimation bias**: Nutrition values are approximate and may vary from real-world measurements.
+
+These biases may affect fairness and diversity in downstream models.
+

+
+## Intended Uses and Limitations
+
+**Intended Uses**
+- Ingredient-based recipe recommendation research
+- Cold-start personalization and ranking model development
+- Educational and academic applications
+
+**Not Intended For**
+- Medical or nutritional decision-making
+- High-stakes personalization without bias mitigation
+- Commercial deployment without further validation
