    Hello Julien,
    This is a tough problem that we are trying to address, but we haven’t found a very good way to make sure the data is up to date. In fact as you say, at a given time, there maybe multiple co-existing versions of a product. So I’m afraid that you will always have to double check the label.
    That being said, we can try to be better by asking users to update new photos when we notice that the ones we have are old (e.g. one year).
    We are also trying to track the evolution of products over time:

    If you want to discuss this further, please join us on Slack. I’ll send you an invite.
    Thanks,
    Stéphane
