Scan or Bag Facts

A few times now when I scanned a barcode on a food item, the information differs from the nutrition facts listed on the package. Which information do you choose to go by?

    The info on the package.
    People add the info on here and they can put it in wrong.

    I would go by what is on the bag. The reason why I suggest that is because it maybe that the website or input data the scan is pulling from has not been updated.

    Yeah, I was thinking it would be best to go by the package but it is so darned tempting to go for the lowest caloric answer. :wink:
