So..I scanned a Flatout FOLD IT wrap today and the Macro's that come up when I scan it are different than printed in the Nutrition Facts on the back...

Has anyone else noticed that?

Just curious and wondering...did not know that that could happen..

    People screw up the database all the time...

    you're lucky to find a listing for anything low carb with the correct carb #'s listed. So many try to (ab)use this site to calculate net carbs (or weight watchers points)...

    Yeah, I've noticed a ton of discrepancies in the database specifically for Flat Outs. The right entry is in the database for multiple kinds. Bummer that the one the "scan barcode" options leads to is incorrect.

    You could kill half the people on the west coast with all that gluten in one of those...

    LOL...I've scanned some foods and what comes up is TOTALLY different from the actual food. Different food, different brand. Really strange and kinda funny.

    Makes me mad...

    Have you tried another "Tracker"...

    MyNetDiary...?? Or just put up with this one?

    Find one that matches and move on. The net carb and other "cooking the books" with macros is stupid, and I wish there was a way to permanently hide things in the database on your login.

    I have found my scans to be accurate nearly all the time. If the information is incorrect you can submit a correction. It's pretty simple and helps to keep the database up to date for everyone. Sometimes the nutrition information may have changed since it was first entered, or it could be as simple as someone screwing up the first time around.

    Also sometimes the scan may read wrong, giving a completely different result. Rescanning usually yields a new result.

    If I can't find one that reads the same, I usually correct the numbers & specify "Revised per label".
