Structural Gaps in Product
Information Systems
A research series examining how information architecture shapes food trade, product disclosure, and cross-border documentation. Each paper applies focused governance lenses to persistent structural failures.
This research series is published by Altibbe Inc. and mirrored here for food producers, compliance teams, and trade documentation practitioners. Papers are framed within structured disclosure and trade documentation context. Primary publication and citation reference: altibbe.com/research/.

Nutrition & Labeling
Single-Score Nutrition Labels
When Compression Replaces Interpretation
Moreover, single-score reductionism systematically penalizes traditional and minimally processed cultural foods while disproportionately rewarding highly engineered formulations. By replacing nuanced human interpretation with opaque algorithmic compression, current labeling paradigms create friction in international trade, distort consumer decision-making, and fail to reflect granular dietary realities.
