Kawari now shows not just what’s inside, but how much. • New: ingredient proportions. A card in the product detail estimates what percentage each ingredient makes up, with the ingredient names in your app language. Under “More” you can pick from five display styles (Bar, Bar list, Column, Grid, Labels) or hide the card. Ingredients that conflict with your filters stay colour-coded. • New: additives highlighted directly in the ingredient text. If a product breaks an active additive rule, the exact words are highlighted in the text, showing not just the E number but the substance name too. Tap to open the explanation. • New: reset app data. Under “More”, you clear your saved lists, search history, rules and allergen profile in one step. Product database, language, shopping country, appearance and subscription all stay as they are. • The product detail stays complete: ingredients, nutrition, additives, ratings and CO₂ no longer disappear when data is missing. Instead you see what is missing and how you can add it. • New allergen section in the product detail with the information the manufacturer has declared. • More careful with patchy data: if the ingredient list is visibly incomplete, Kawari no longer gives the all-clear on allergens and says so plainly. • Onboarding reworked: the database loads in the background while you look around, with progress on every page. Plus a real preview of the rules instead of screenshots, and the shopping country pre-selected from your device region. • Clearer messages when a product is not found: Kawari now tells the difference between no internet connection, Open Food Facts being unreachable and a brief pause because of the request limit. • Before the database download, Kawari checks whether there is enough free storage, instead of stopping halfway through the download. • Nutrition corrected: estimated values and values for the prepared product that come from Open Food Facts are no longer shown as the manufacturer’s own figures. • Additives with variants: numbers like E450iii showed the name of a different substance. Now the right one is shown. The variants can also be selected individually in the rules, and if you block a number like E450, Kawari now warns you about its variants too. • Privacy policy revised and made more precise.
