Description

The legacy /foods and /recipes routes are now permanently redirected (301) to

their corresponding new pages in Production. We should remove any remaining

references to these deprecated routes across the codebase to avoid unnecessary

redirects, reduce technical debt, and ensure all internal navigation and links

point directly to the new canonical pages.

Scope / Tasks

Identify and remove references to /foods and /recipes in:

Backend code (routes, serializers, redirects, constants)

Frontend code (links, navigation, config, hardcoded URLs)

Templates, emails, and notifications

Tests, fixtures, and mocks

Documentation and comments, where applicable

Replace with the appropriate new canonical URLs.

Verify no internal requests or links rely on the 301 redirects.

Confirm in production monitoring (e.g., logs or Datadog) that traffic to /foods

and /recipes is no longer originating from first-party code after changes are

deployed.

Acceptance Criteria

No first-party code references /foods or /recipes.

All internal links route directly to the new pages without triggering 301

redirects.

Tests pass and no regressions are introduced.

Post-deployment verification shows a reduction or elimination of internal

traffic to the deprecated routes.
