If you contact Chefvincentfoods by email regarding allergies, dietary restrictions, health concerns, or ingredient substitutions, any information you choose to disclose will be used only as reasonably necessary to review and respond to your message. Chefvincentfoods does not provide medical care, diagnosis, or treatment, and any such communications should not be treated as medical advice or as creating any professional relationship beyond a general informational response.
