Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores gummy candy at a serving of a few pieces sweetened with glucose syrup; at a large handful, especially if HFCS-sweetened 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.
