Kanvie helps you stay aware of ingredients or food characteristics you want to avoid, whether due to allergies, dietary preferences, intolerances, or personal choices. You can avoid specific ingredients or broader attributes (like gluten, lactose, or alcohol), and Kanvie will alert you whenever you encounter items that match your avoidance settings.

Avoiding Specific Ingredients

If there are particular ingredients you don't want to include in your diet:

1. Open the ingredient you'd like to avoid
2. Tap the ⋯ (More) button in the top-right corner
3. Select Avoid this ingredient

Managing Avoided Ingredients

To view and manage your full list of avoided ingredients:

1. Go to the Me 👤 tab in the bottom navigation bar of your Kanvie app
2. Select Avoided ingredients

After Avoiding an Ingredient

• When viewing an ingredient you avoid, you'll see a warning at the top of the screen
• Products containing that ingredient will also display a warning at the top of the screen, which you can tap to see all violations
• Recipes listing any matching products or ingredients will show a similar warning

This is ideal when you want to avoid one specific ingredient rather than a whole category.

Avoiding Attributes

If you want to avoid everything related to a broader property, for example, all gluten-containing foods or anything with alcohol, you can avoid attributes directly.

What Are Attributes?

Each ingredient in Kanvie may have one or more attributes, such as:

• Gluten
• Eggs
• Soy
• Milk
• Peanuts / Tree nuts
• Sesame
• Sulphites
• Legumes
• Fish / Crustaceans / Molluscs
• Meat, poultry, animal origin
• Alcohol
• Yeast
• …and others

Products and recipes inherit these attributes from their ingredients, and products may also include trace elements that list potential attribute occurrences.

Managing Avoided Attributes

1. Go to the Me 👤 tab in the bottom navigation bar of your Kanvie app
2. Select Avoided attributes
3. Toggle any attributes you want to avoid
4. Save your changes

After Avoiding an Attribute

• Ingredients with that attribute will show a warning
• Products containing such ingredients or trace elements will show a warning
• Recipes including any matching ingredient or product will show a warning
