Bonjour
I’m just getting started with the app on Android and doing some testing.
On one product box I can see Nutriscore A while the value in the OpenFoodFacts app is E
My bielief is that the application is right but
1-how such difference can exist ?
2-who is right? The label on the product or the value in the app?
2- is it legal to communicate one Nutriscore value on the product wich is not consistent with others? I thought Nutriscore database was holding uniques values in a database
3 - using the bar code number (see below) I reach TheDiet web page wich provide a third Nutriscore value (D). See this page : https://www.zediet.fr/aliments/3033491485756/decryptage.html
To tell the thruth I’m totally lost and I’m no longer sure about the confidence and trust I can have in Nutriscore values and the app.
Can you provide the link to the product on Open Food Facts ?
It may happen that we did not compute the right value for Nutri Score. It might be because:
the nuts estimate from ingredients is wrong or not computed (if we don’t have it, but you can provide it manually in nutrition table),
or the nutrition table might not be up to date, or lacks some data,
lastly a wrong product category can also have influence.
You can report the Nutri Score displayed by the producer in the “labels” field. If it’s different from the one we compute, it will help put a quality error tag on the product, to help the quality team spot them.
Remember that we are a volunteer collective effort to provide the best data that we can. Nothing is perfect but every one can help improve the database !
