Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores deli meat at a serving of additive-free slices, 60 g; at processed slices with garlic/onion/soy it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
