Before You Cook — Freshness Review

• ◎ Inspect before use. Visual and smell check recommended for all fresh and refrigerated items before cook execution.
• ◎ User verification required for any ingredient showing a freshness window under 24 hours. Nexus K flags these automatically.
• ◎ Household confirmation required when substituting ingredients outside the original Meal Path.
• ◎ Review recommended for all frozen proteins before thawing. Cook from frozen only when the label permits.
• ◎ All guidance is based on entered information. Nexus K does not verify physical freshness — use priority signals are estimates only.

Nexus K uses freshness window logic and use-priority signals to guide timing. Final cook readiness is always the household's decision.
