The Releasor acknowledges that the Releasee is a Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) and not a licensed physician or medical doctor.

The Releasor warrants they have disclosed all known food allergies, sensitivities, and medical conditions. Releasor assumes full responsibility for any allergic reactions or adverse effects caused by food consumption or the use of dietary supplements recommended under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (21 U.S.C. §321(ff)). Releasor hereby waives all claims against Releasee for reactions resulting from ingredients, food labeling errors by third-party manufacturers under 21 CFR Part 101, or failure to disclose sensitivities.
This agreement is governed by California law. Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and HIPAA, the Releasee warrants that patient health information and dietary data shall be handled with appropriate security measures. If the Releasee is operating as an independent contractor, the parties acknowledge that this relationship is intended to meet the criteria of Cal. Lab. Code § 2750.3 (AB 5).

As a dietary professional in California, you face a unique intersection of stringent consumer privacy laws (CCPA), nutrition labeling standards (21 CFR Part 101), and the risk of allergic reaction claims. A standard waiver is not enough. You need a specialized Release of Liability that explicitly addresses the assumption of nutritional risk, clarifies that you are not providing medical diagnosis, and protects your practice from claims arising out of dietary choices, meal plan implementation, and the inherent risks of metabolic change.
Beyond the standard release of liability sections, this template adds fields specific to Dietitian:
The core legal purpose of a Release of Liability is to protect one party (the Releasee) from legal claims or lawsuits from another party (the Releasor) related to the subject of the release, such as an activity, transaction, or event.
Dietary Advice Liability
Use detailed consent forms that outline the scope of guidance and disclaim liability for specific outcomes.
Yes. This document includes a specific acknowledgment of the Releasor's responsibility to disclose all known allergies and food sensitivities, releasing the dietitian from liability for adverse reactions provided the advice followed the disclosed information.
In California, worker classification under the ABC test is critical. If you are a contractor for a clinic, this release helps clarify your role as an independent professional. However, it is essential that your liability form aligns with your worker status to avoid misclassification claims under Cal. Lab. Code § 2750.3.
The release includes an 'Assumption of Risk' clause regarding nutritional outcomes, clarifying that results vary by individual metabolism and adherence, effectively waiving claims based on the lack of specific physical or health results.
While this is a liability release, it incorporates references to the handling of health and personal data in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100, ensuring your data intake process for nutrition assessments meets California's high privacy standards.
