I used the barcode scanner for some tortillas I would like to have. The scanner showed the item as correct, but showed the calorie count at 80. The package however, shows 100... which one is correct?

    I'd go with the higher number. Better to overestimate than underestimate.

    I would err on the side of caution and go with 100. Plus direct from the package is probably more reliable than anything else.

    Are the serving sizes the same for both the package and the scanned in number? They also may have updated their nutrition information since it was scanned into MFP, so I would go with the higher number, just to be safe.

    Definitely go with the package. I've found some errors before too.
