What's New in Olive Detective
1.1.9
August 24, 2026
• Far better seed oil and allergen detection. We now read Open Food Facts ingredient tags instead of matching English words only, so products labelled in other languages no longer slip through — a survey of the full database found roughly 151,000 of 318,000 European products were being missed. • Cancelling a subscription now asks what went wrong first, then takes you straight to the right settings.
