Christi Evans, Assistant State Extension Specialist tells us why this matters?

• Canning is a science requiring tested recipes
• Safety depends on precise acidity, ingredients, and processing times
• AI-generated recipes may omit critical safety steps
Key reminders for clients:
• AI is helpful for general cooking ideas
• Do NOT use AI for canning or food preservation
• Always rely on research-tested recipes
Trusted sources:
• USDA
• National Center for Home Food Preservation
• Extension materials
As AI becomes more prevalent, helping clients distinguish between safe and unsafe uses is essential.
