I don't like this or want this.
I don't want a refrigerator that does something zany when faced with something it doesn't recognize, or demand I justify anything I store in it.
I don't want an appliance of any kind that makes purchasing decisions for me.

I especially don't want an appliance that would rather do obviously zany misrecognition, think I like the misrecognized thing, and buy things based on it, than admit its ignorance and not worry about it.

Appliances that buy things for me with my money, from no vendor but a single store with surprisingly limited inventory, benefits no one but the single locked-in vendor. That's a terribly high price to pay for convenience.
Will it allow me to store sandwiches made from unauthorized bread?
