in Food and Nutrition
I've noticed some real anomalies in some of the foods that show up when you search for a particular food. In some cases the data entered seems almost like a joke. Is there a way to manage this entire so that they don't stay? Like there are bunches of entries for Wawa products that don't match their nutrition page at all. How does that sort of thing get fixed?

    Don't trust the system! Enter in your own information. Scan the bar code if the macros are not snown (sometimes they will pop up).

    I always confirm everything with Google or another website and/or product packaging and if something in the data base is correct, I add my confirmation to it to help other users find correct entries. Entries with multiple user confirmations are usually reliable.

    Thanks guys! I was just frustrated that that one was so easy to find and it had been entered incorrectly a bunch of times! I also found one super fattening food listed as -1 calorie !!
