Nutrition/Calorie Differences

I have started using MFP. I have been noticing there is a difference in the nutrition information between MFP and what a label says. For example, I scanned (using barcode scanner within MFP) Del Monte Mandarin Oranges. MFP brought back information saying 40 calories in 1/2 cup. However, the label on the Del Monte bottle clearly states 70 calories in 1/2 cup. So who do I believe - MFP or Del Monte?

    there are laws around labelling, but any fool can type nonsense into here, so I would go with the label and report the entry as incorrect.
