What's New in Preggrs
1.1.0
October 24, 2026
READ THE INGREDIENT LIST, NOT JUST THE BARCODE Store brands and smaller labels are mostly missing from barcode databases. Now you can photograph the ingredient list instead. The text is read on your phone, the photo is never uploaded or saved, and this works with no signal. HERBS, ADAPTOGENS AND SUPPLEMENTS 27 new entries with cited US guidance — ashwagandha, reishi and other mushroom extracts, maca, rhodiola, blue cohosh, matcha, yerba mate, collagen, spirulina, bee pollen and more. IT ADMITS WHAT IT DOES NOT KNOW If a label carries concentrated plant extracts with no published guidance behind them, Preggrs now says so and names them, instead of reporting the product as clear. The 1-100 score stays, and every point it takes off is still itemised and named. FIXES A significant scanning fix: raw and unpasteurised ingredients were being matched against their pasteurised entries, so a raw-milk cheese could read as fine. It no longer can. Also repaired five citations that had gone dead after the publisher reorganised their site.
