## What is Sano?

Eat with clarity. Protect your health.

Sano is your essential companion for navigating grocery store aisles with complete confidence. Whether you suffer from severe food allergies, intolerances, or are simply mindful of what you eat, Sano decodes ingredient labels for you instantly.

Why Sano?
Detecting hidden allergens is complex. A quick glance at a label can easily overlook a dangerous ingredient. Sano uses an exhaustive database and cutting-edge scanning technology to alert you immediately if a product contains an ingredient you need to avoid.

Key Features:

Instant Barcode Scanning: Point your camera at any food product's barcode for an immediate safety analysis.

Personalized Allergen Alerts: Set up your profile with your specific allergies (Peanuts, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Soy, etc.), and Sano will instantly flag any risky product in red.

Label Reading (OCR): No barcode? Scan the ingredient list directly to analyze the text in real-time.

Family Profiles (Premium): Manage allergies and dietary restrictions for your entire household from a single account.

Clear Status Indicators: A simple visual cue (Green = Safe, Red = Danger) makes on-the-spot decision-making effortless.

Scan History: Easily reaccess and review products you have previously analyzed.

Sano Premium:
Upgrade to Sano Premium for unlimited scans, family profile management, full history tracking, and healthier alternative recommendations for products containing flagged allergens.

Stop guessing when it comes to your health. Make every grocery trip a safe and stress-free experience.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-29

Allergen alerts

Fixed an issue where the red "avoid" and green "all clear" screens could
fail to appear on products that list an allergen by group — "contains tree
nuts" rather than "contains cashews". Those products now trigger the alert
immediately.

If you've narrowed a group down to specific types, a vague label still
shows as unverified rather than safe. That part is unchanged, and
deliberate.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-15

Allergen alerts

Fixed an issue where the red "avoid" and green "all clear" screens could
fail to appear on products that list an allergen by group — "contains tree
nuts" rather than "contains cashews". Those products now trigger the alert
immediately.

If you've narrowed a group down to specific types, a vague label still
shows as unverified rather than safe. That part is unchanged, and
deliberate.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-10

Pick the exact allergens you react to

Tree nuts, gluten grains, and shellfish can now be narrowed down to
the specific foods that affect you. React to cashews but not almonds?
Sano warns you about cashews and stays quiet on the rest — no more
alerts on products that are perfectly safe for you.

Vague labels are never called safe

When a label says "contains tree nuts" without saying which, Sano now
marks it as unverified instead of giving it a pass. If the information
isn't there, we tell you so.

More free scans

Free scans go from 3 to 10 per day, and the daily reset now works
reliably.

Also fixed

• Premium now activates properly after a purchase or a redeemed code.
  If you paid and didn't get access, reopen Sano — it will appear.
• The sign-in screen is fully translated.
• Your allergy list now reads clearly when you track only some types
  of a group.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-02

What's New

• Sano now detects allergens from "free-from" labels (like "gluten-free"), even when detailed ingredient data is missing.
• New: a reassuring green "All Clear" screen when no allergen matches your profile.
• Health scores are now more precise and granular within each Nutri-Score grade.
• Fixed Premium "healthier alternatives" suggestions.
• Free users now see a live countdown until their scan quota renews.
• Refreshed sign-in screen.
• Bug fixes and improvements.
Sano 1.1 améliore la fiabilité des vérifications d’allergènes avec une analyse détaillée pour chaque allergène sélectionné et un indicateur de qualité des données. Découvrez aussi la lecture d’étiquette corrigible, un historique avec recherche, filtres et favoris, de meilleures alternatives, une nouvelle carte Story et la possibilité de signaler les informations incorrectes. Vérifiez toujours l’étiquette physique du produit avant consommation.
