Curious to ask who has come across incorrect values on the food labels ? Obviously carb content is of paramount importance on labelling, get it wrong and it's either hypo or hyper, I came unstuck yesterday on a soup label, it was chicken soup but had potato and cornflour in, label said 300g portion was 29.7g of carb and bolused accordingly, however an hour and a bit later CGM alerted me to falling BG levels, which I was able to correct before a hypo but when I later cross referenced it against Sainsburys nutrition information it was out by 14.7g, which is a huge difference, it's not the first time i've come across incorrect carb content on labels, but concerned food manufacturers are still getting it wrong and don't fully understand the implications for insulin dependent diabetics.
