No lot number? Now you can scan the date. Many products — fresh items and store brands — don't print a lot number. The FDA and USDA identify those recalls by the "Best if Used By" date instead. Tap "No lot number?" and Numeline reads the date and checks it against the official recall window. Also in this release: • Clearer allergen warnings: when product data is incomplete, Numeline now says "suspected trace of…" for each of your profile's allergens instead of simply failing to verify — safety first. • Faster lot detection: recall checks now run on a warm server, removing the slow first scan.

NEW: Recall alerts the moment the FDA announces them Numeline now monitors official FDA recall press releases, which are often published days before lot numbers reach the recall databases. If a recall matches a brand you have scanned, the product is flagged "possible recall" and you get a single notification — never a repeat. When no lot numbers are published, Numeline shows you the identification details from the official notice, such as "Best if Used By" dates, so you can check your own item. A possible recall is never shown as a confirmed one, and the official FDA notice is always one tap away. Expanded dietary profiles: - Celiac mode: strict gluten avoidance, including "may contain" traces - Sulfites added to allergen detection - Searchable catalog of thousands of ingredients, plus custom foods - Pregnancy mode covering raw milk, deli meat, raw fish and eggs, and more Also in this update: - Clearer recall status wording: "no recall found" instead of implying a product is safe - More accurate lot number reading - Fewer and smarter notifications: one alert per recall, no repeats - Stability and performance fixes

- New: get alerted the moment the FDA announces a recall matching a brand you scanned — even before lot numbers are published, with "Best if Used By" dates from the official notice - New dietary filters: celiac mode, sulfites, a searchable ingredient catalog, and pregnancy mode - Smarter notifications (one alert per recall), more accurate lot reading, stability fixes

What's new in this version: • Recall alerts even without a lot number. When the FDA or USDA announces a recall but doesn't publish lot codes, Numeline now flags a "possible recall" for matching products and shows you the published identification details (such as "Best if Used By" dates) so you can check your item yourself. • Faster recall detection. We now also monitor official FDA recall press releases, so you're notified as soon as a recall is announced — often days before it appears in the enforcement database. • Expanded dietary & allergen filters. Added a celiac (gluten) mode, sulfite detection, and a searchable catalog of thousands of ingredients — plus the ability to add your own foods to avoid. • More accurate lot-number scanning and various stability fixes.

New: "My Diet" Set allergens, foods to avoid (pork, seafood, gelatin, alcohol…), vegetarian/vegan, and sugar, fat, or salt thresholds — for each family member. With every scan, the app tells you who can eat the product (e.g. "Mom: avoid — eggs / Dad: OK"). New: Pregnancy mode Alerts on high-risk foods (raw milk, deli meats, raw fish, alcohol…) and foods to limit (tuna, liver, caffeine). Improvements More accurate allergen and recall detection Synced history and continuous recall alerts Various fixes and stability improvements

This update transforms NumelineFR into a companion against both recalls AND allergens. MY DIET (new) Enter your allergens (the 14 regulated ones + coconut), foods to avoid (pork, seafood, gelatin, alcohol, beef), vegetarian/vegan diet, and sugar, fat, or salt thresholds. Multiple profiles: add each family member with their own diet. With every scan, a clear result per person: "Mom: avoid (eggs)," "Dad: safe to eat." PREGNANCY MODE (new) Alerts on risky foods (listeriosis, toxoplasmosis, mercury): raw milk, deli meats, raw or smoked fish, raw meat, raw egg, shellfish, alcohol… and "limit" warnings for tuna, liver, and caffeine. RECALLS & HISTORY History synced across your devices, with notifications if a product you've scanned is subject to a recall. IMPROVEMENTS Faster camera startup, improved detection accuracy, bug fixes, and localization in 14 languages.
