Calorie counts on food labels inaccurate?

I just read a ton of articles about the inaccuracy of calorie counts on food labels. I'm starting to freak out a little because I'm trying to control my weight. Should I be concerned about underestimation on labels? Or is the discrepancy insignificant?

Please don't write me off as overly paranoid. I really need an answer.

Thanks!
