Net carbs are not subtracting sugar alcohols

My net carb calculation never matches the label on the food. I often scan the bar code. It doesn’t seem to subtract sugar alcohols from the total carb macro. Also allulose and acacia gum should be subtracted from total carb.

    It sounds like the scanner isn't accounting for sugar alcohols, allulose and acacia gum.
    Try manually subtracting these from the total carbs for an accurate net carb count.

    That’s definitely do-able, but time consuming and not why I pay for the premium app. Why shouldn’t the app calculate correctly?
