This page is generated directly from the first-party substitution records used by Well Stockd’s recipe-matching engine, last regenerated July 12, 2026. Automated integrity checks remove several known-unsafe record patterns, but every listed swap has not been kitchen-tested. A catalog match is practical cooking guidance, not an allergen, medical, or nutrition equivalence. Check ingredient labels and the recipe’s structural requirements before substituting.
