Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores whole wheat pasta at a serving of about 1/2 cup cooked (44g); at 1 cup cooked or more 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.
