Behind the Label is now even faster, more private, and fully offline-first! Here is what's new in this release: • Offline Ingredient Safety Engine: Analyze ingredients lists completely privately and offline. Our deterministic rating system flags questionable additives, seed oils, chemical preservatives, and artificial sweeteners. • Interactive Safety Chart: Explore your food's composition with a side-by-side donut breakdown. Tap segments to instantly filter ingredients by risk severity and view detailed scoring point deductions. • US vs. EU Food Standards: We cross-reference FDA (US) and EFSA (EU) regulatory frameworks side-by-side to highlight global differences in ingredient approvals. • Easy App & Product Sharing: Quickly share specific food analysis reports or recommend Behind the Label to friends using the new "Share App" option in the scan settings menu. • Branded Typography: Enjoy a sleeker, premium visual experience with our brand-new Britanica font family applied across the entire app. • Native iOS 18 Support: We have optimized compiler compatibility and lowered the minimum deployment target to iOS 18.0.
