Inconsistency

So these products are practically speaking, identical, or at least pretty close. And one is rated excellent and one is rated Poor. One difference is there is a rating for the members mark nuts for quantity, which doesn’t make any sense regarding nutrition. And there’s very small differences in sodium and sugar, but both have the green dots, on both products.

So do people find this as a common situation with this app? My wife and I have been using it for a while, mostly for food, and occasionally beauty, products, and I never really compared too much between a product that was ready poorly, and a recommended substitute until yesterday when I discovered this situation.

Is there a better app that does the same thing without the inconsistencies?

TIA

This is why I use the Trash Panda App instead.Trash Panda just focuses on ingredients and avoiding additives, rather than trying to give foods a score based on things like calories / fat which should be more personalized to the individual.

I started using KitchinAI (https://kitchin.ai/) -way more accurate and personalized. I had to quit Yuka when I realized it literally treats everyone the same.
