Quality Monitoring

Generic errors

• Data quality errors that can be detected;

Categorisation errors

• Single ingredient check:
  • Plain pistachios should only contain the ingredient Pistachio;
• Internel opposites:
  • Plain pistachio and Pistachios(salted), Pistachios(roasted) should not be assigned simultaneously;
  • Pistachios(salted) and Pistachios(unsalted) should not be assigned simultaneously;
  • Pistachios(shelled) and Pistachios(unshelled) should not be assigned simultaneously;

• Oneside opposites(these are categories which are incompatible and which are often due to adding an ingredient as a category):
  • Mixed nuts - to detect adding all the different nuts in mixed nuts;
  • Chocolate covered pistachios - to detect chocolate covered nuts;

Sales format

Pecan nuts are sold by:

• package - pre-packed in the nuts aisles;
