I’m a bit confused.  
I’m calling [this URL](https://world.openfoodfacts.net/api/v2/product/42270386.json) and I receive a JSON response for the product.  
In this example, it’s a Cola Zero from the manufacturer Freeway (Barcode: 42270386).  
The brand name is correct, but the product name is wrong. Am I missing something?

“brands”: “Freeway, MEG Weißenfels GmbH & Co KG”  
“product\_name\_de”: “ **Philadelphia** ”

The issue seems to have been fixed. Now the API is also showing the correct text.
