1.5.0
August 10, 2026
This update answers the question that really matters in the aisle: why? • Ingredient highlighting: Kawari marks the ingredients relevant to your rules right in the ingredient list, with support for all 14 EU allergens. Tap an ingredient, read the explanation. • Rule results explained: a tap on the info icon shows the data source and the concrete triggers behind the verdict. • Clearer rule titles: every rule has the same name everywhere, with the result spelled out in words below it. • Improved allergen detection: more accurate matches, more cautious all-clears, more precise trace wording, more products covered. • Additive badges in the product detail are linked to the lexicon: tap one to open its explanation right there in a sheet. • FAQ expanded significantly: new articles on number mode, camera features, sharing a product, the additive filter, the E number lexicon, Open Food Facts, adding a product and correcting data. Several articles corrected for accuracy. • Product detail: the back button now floats bottom right and fades out subtly while you scroll. • Fixed: a layout glitch on the scan screen on certain iPhone models, the scan frame now sits right on every device. • Fixed: database updates now take effect immediately after downloading, and the update notice disappears reliably. • Smaller improvements in the filter and while scanning.
