OFF product discrepancy

[monsieurtanuki]

What

I entered a price with Smoothie for product 7300400482844.
This product is recognized by Smoothie.
It's labeled "unknown" by the Prices web app.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://prices.openfoodfacts.org/app/search
2. Look for 7300400482844
3. The product is unknown (but has prices)
4. The product exists in OFF, though - https://fr.openfoodfacts.org/produit/7300400482844/wasa-tartine-croustillante-complet-260g

Expected behavior

The product should be found in OFF and displayed correctly in Prices.

There's a lag since we have a local copy of the db

I can understand that, but it's not a new product (in the OFF db since April 2022) and it already had a price from 8 weeks ago.

the issue here is that the product is "obsolete"

Known problem, see this issue in the backend : openfoodfacts/open-prices#281 (we need to find a way to sync these products as well)

Then there's a minor data problem in the OFF database as this "obsolete" product can be purchased today.

Additionally, not all obsolete products seems to be handled the same.

• 3414280971108 while obsolete in OFF is rendered fine in OP ( I bought it recently ).
• 3596710430161 also obsolete in OFF ( with an additional withdrawal date ) is rendered partially in OP.

For French people only...

Je propose qu'on fasse passer le champ obsolete en type perceval qui n'a qu'une seule valeur possible : "C'est pas faux !"

Closing in favor of the backend issue openfoodfacts/open-prices#281 👍
