Onions - main entry missing from database?

I was just trying to add onions to a recipe, but the entry I usually use seems to be missing. It was the main (non-user-submitted) entry titled simply 'Onions - Raw'. It had lots of different sizes and servings, and many confirmations. But now it's not there, even if I search specifically for 'onions raw'. All that comes up is 'Onions - sweet, raw', which are different from brown onions in terms of calories. So now there's just a load of user entries which aren't of much use.

Any reason for this? I use onions in loads of recipes and would like to have an official entry.

edit: The official entry for raw carrots is also missing. What's going on?

edit 2: same for olive oil.

    Same for apples with skin. It disappeared yesterday. I'm not sure what's going on.

    I noticed over the weekend the app on my phone for this was off a litle. Entries that were usually there were missing. So far things seem back to normal for me. Maybe it was just glitchy over the weekend?

    Nope, still gone.

    The entry for pork sausages (Pork sausage - fresh, cooked) is also missing, even though other variations remain (Italian pork, smoked link, polish sausage, precooked pork). It's weird.

    Have literally spent the last ten minutes looking for my onion. The "new" recipe builder they're forcing us to use is crap and entries I use every day are missing. BRING BACK THE ONION AND BRING BACK THE OLD RECIPE BUILDER.

    Was about to try and add olive oil to my recipe but then i re-read the OP... This whole operation will fall apart if I can't rely on MFP...

    I saw in another thread that it looks like the entries were "updated". By updated I mean lots of them were removed. My theory is maybe MFP is in the middle of an upgrade. Still super irritating if that's the case and there was no notice, even more so if they just removed stuff.

    And I don't suppose there's any way to contact MFP to complain about this?
