Data Confidence
TL;DR
Not all product data is equally reliable. We use three confidence levels — Verified, Estimated, and Low — so you always know how much to trust the scores you see.
Why confidence matters
Our TryVit Score is only as good as the data behind it. Some products have complete, label-verified nutritional data. Others have gaps we've filled with estimates. We believe in being transparent about this.
Confidence levels
Verified — All data comes from the primary label source. Every nutrition field has been confirmed against the actual product packaging. This is the highest confidence level.
Estimated — Some values have been estimated from category averages or similar products. The score is reliable but may not match the exact label values.
Low — Significant data gaps exist. The score should be treated as approximate. We display it so you have some information, but we clearly mark the uncertainty.
Data completeness
Each product has a data completeness percentage (0–100%) based on 15 checkpoints: EAN code, 8 nutrition fields (calories, fat, saturated fat, carbs, sugars, protein, salt, fibre, trans fat), Nutri-Score, NOVA classification, ingredients, allergen assessment, and source provenance. Currently, most products in our database are at 87–100% completeness.
How we improve data
We continuously update product data from multiple sources: manual label entry, Open Food Facts API, and user reports. When better data becomes available, scores are recalculated automatically.
What you can do
If you notice incorrect data for a product, you can help improve our database. Look for the confidence indicator on each product profile — it tells you how reliable the current data is.
