LLM generated nutrition for accuracy.

The first item I manually look up is has about double calories listed in the "dataset" versus reality. Honey bunches of oats honey roasted.

Both products show a 1 cup (41g) and 160 calorie serving size to me?

If you wouldn't mind DM'ing me the barcode you're looking at that would be helpful to understand what the nature of the discrepancy is.

  • so the dataset published is different from the data on the website.

    line 13669: fd_AX4PUMF1h0RU Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted by Post ["Post Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted Cereal"] Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted is a popular breakfast cereal combining crispy whole grain flakes with clusters of honey-roasted oats. This Post cereal features a distinctive mix of textures and a sweet honey flavor profile, created through a specialized roasting process. While providing some dietary fiber, it contains a relatively high sugar content typical of sweetened breakfast cereals, with honey-roasted clusters being its signature component. grocery [] {"common":{"unit":"cup","quantity":1},"metric":{"unit":"g","quantity":41}} {"iron":39.5,"zinc":3.66,"water":3.6585,"biotin":4.878,"copper":0.4878,"iodine":4.878,"lysine":0.3902,"niacin":19.5,"serine":0.3171,"sodium":463,"valine":0.5366,"alanine":0.3171,"calcium":24,"choline":12.1951,"cystine":0.0976,"glycine":0.2195,"leucine":0.6341,"omega_3":0,"omega_6":0,"omega_9":2.44,"proline":0.4146,"protein":7.32,"taurine":0,"thiamin":1,"xylitol":0,"arginine":0.4146,"caffeine":0,"calories":390,"chlorine":0,"chromium":2.439,"cysteine":0.0976,"selenium":12.1951,"sorbitol":0,"tyrosine":0.2195,"histidine":0.2195,"magnesium":59,"manganese":0.7317,"potassium":146,"threonine":0.3171,"total_fat":4.88,"vitamin_a":243.9024,"vitamin_c":0,"vitamin_d":5,"vitamin_e":1.2195,"vitamin_k":0.4878,"folate_dfe":243.9024,"isoleucine":0.4146,"methionine":0.122,"molybdenum":7.3171,"oleic_acid":2.44,"phosphorus":146,"riboflavin":1.24,"trans_fats":0,"tryptophan":0.0976,"vitamin_b6":1.95,"capric_acid":0,"cholesterol":0,"erucic_acid":0,"lauric_acid":0,"vitamin_b12":14.6,"added_sugars":19.5,"stearic_acid":0,"total_sugars":22,"aspartic_acid":0.6341,"caprylic_acid":0,"carbohydrates":82.9,"dietary_fiber":4.9,"ethyl_alcohol":0,"glutamic_acid":1.4634,"linoleic_acid":0,"myristic_acid":0,"palmitic_acid":0,"phenylalanine":0.4146,"soluble_fiber":1.2195,"linolenic_acid":0,"saturated_fats":0,"sugar_alcohols":0,"eicosenoic_acid":0,"insoluble_fiber":3.6805,"arachidonic_acid":0,"pantothenic_acid":1.2195,"other_carbohydrates":0,"alpha_linolenic_acid":0,"docosahexaenoic_acid":0,"gamma_linolenic_acid":0,"monounsaturated_fats":2.44,"polyunsaturated_fats":0,"docosapentaenoic_acid":0,"eicosapentaenoic_acid":0,"dihomo_gamma_linolenic_acid":0} 0884912359155 ["sweetened"] {"common":{"unit":"oz","quantity":12},"metric":{"unit":"g","quantity":340}} Corn, whole grain wheat, sugar, whole grain rolled oats, rice, canola and/or soybean oil, wheat flour, malted barley flour, corn syrup, salt, molasses, honey, caramel color, barley malt extract, natural and artificial flavor, annatto extract (color), bht added to preserve freshness, vitamins and minerals: reduced iron, niacinamide (vitamin b3), vitamin a palmitate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin b6), zinc oxide, thiamin mononitrate (vitamin b1), riboflavin (vitamin b2), folic acid, vitamin d3, vitamin b12 {"gluten":["wheat","barley","malt"],"food_dyes":["caramel color","annatto"],"added_sugars":["sugar","corn syrup"],"allergen_wheat":["wheat"],"allergen_soybeans":["soybean"],"artificial_flavors":["artificial flavor"],"artificial_preservatives":["bht"]}

Oof. That makes it completely useless for counting calories. It would be especially bad because the labeling for a lot of ready-made products is available from the manufacturer's website so it should be pretty easy to get it right.
