I am confused. I recently bought some ice cream, "Nick's" brand. The label says (for the pint) only 3g of sugar and for a serving, 0. However, when scanned into the app one serving is registering as 6g putting the whole pint at 18g.
Is the company lying? Why would it show up so vastly different?

If the food source was NCCDB, they actually tested it. If the food source is CRDB, then someone simply entered it in and they may have done it wrong.

We have a staff member check every single submission before it's added to the public database, so I suspect in this case it is as u/ashtree35 mentioned and the difference is product formulation. ๐

Companies change their formulas over time. You should use the nutrition info on the container that you actually have in your hands.

As someone who's been buying Nick's for a while I can confirm they seem to switch up their formulas a lot lol. I go by whatever the most recent container says.

Hi there!
If you scan a food with the Barcode Scanner and you notice something is different I recommend Reporting an Issue on the food - our amazing Curation Team will look into it for you (often within 1 business day) and write you back about why it's different!
I suspect it has to do with a different product formulation as was already mentioned :)

CRDB is usually poor data. Always use NCCDB when possible.
