What The Records Can Tell Us
Same names.
Different specifications.
A shared menu name can hide differences between countries—and an unchanged total can hide changes within a meal.
These are published nutrition specifications, with their original rounding. They don’t prove what caused a change, measure the portion you’ll receive, or rank a meal’s overall health.
