I found it interesting that when scanning vlasic sweet gherkins pickles, the nutrition information is significantly different than what is printed on the label. I did a search on line and found that the information there is also inconsistent as to what is printed on the label. Why would that be?

    Because the majority of database entries here are created by your fellow users. Like any crowd-sourced collection of data, the accuracy can be an issue.

    What was said above. Use the label information. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients or serving size since the online entry was made, it could vary regionally, or someone just put it in the database completely wrong.
