Treat a website-package mismatch as an unresolved version question. Save both records and contact the manufacturer with the bag's identifiers rather than merging the conflicting information.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Package | Photograph recipe, lot and date. |
| Website | Save the page and access date. |
| Inquiry | Ask which information applies to the purchased lot. |

Photograph recipe, lot and date.
Save the page and access date.
Ask which information applies to the purchased lot.
A practical example
If the website lists one ingredient and the bag another, do not create a combined recipe that neither source actually describes.
Before you decide
Keep the discrepancy visible until the manufacturer clarifies the relevant version.
For the broader task, see Dog-food label comparison.
