    Sometimes I get whole other foods. Like chocolate macros for a pack of meat I scanned. I usually re-scan or just search it.

    Yes, it happens to me sometimes. If its different, I just type in the name brand on the search box but if I can't find it I create it and log in exactly what the nutritional value is. It's a pain but I want everything to be logged in perfectly or I'd be fooling myself ;)

    I've been getting this a lot lately. Like on items that scanned properly in the last month. Poof! They've changed from an apple to a pork chop....
