Many products use, what seems as, standard canonical values for nutritional values. The canonical values for energy (wikipedia) are 3700 kJ or 880 kcal. The products use 900 kcal instead. In total there are [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/search.pl?action=process&tagtype_0=categories&tag_contains_0=contains&tag_0=Olive%20oils&nutriment_0=energy-kcal&nutriment_compare_0=gt&nutriment_value_0=890&nutriment_1=energy-kcal&nutriment_compare_1=lt&nutriment_value_1=910&sort_by=unique_scans_n&page_size=20 1957 products] with this value.
