| |
− | There are many reasons why it can differ:
| |
− | * the label in Open Food Facts does not represent the label printed on the package (easy to solve)
| |
− | * the label is correct, but our calculation doesn't provide the same result:
| |
− | ** check the category,
| |
− | ** then check the nutrition facts: the issue is sometimes the lack of "fibers" information or the lack of "Fruits, vegetables, nuts and rapeseed, walnut and olive oils" percentage.
| |
− | * it can be a software issue (quite rare but possible).
