Someone added a whisky picture to mineral water. The whisky picture had a different barcode on it than the barcode it was associated with. We could have detected that automatically and flagged it in the quality facet.

Example:
Image with 3250391319053 barcode stored on 3250392807269:

Product Opener is able to detect the right barcode using our current library:

It may be worth noting that I found all these when researching barcode ranges of retailers. Certain retailer brands circulate seemingly exclusively within certain ranges (for example: Trader Joe's, or K-Classic by Kaufland, or Edeka products).

When I investigated exceptions to this rule (say a barcode of a brand where 90% of the other barcodes would look very similar to another, but this one stood out), almost every single exception turned out to be a different barcode on the product than in OFF, and is likely a faulty addition to the database
