    They're "verified" entries. Be careful, though. I've found several that were incorrect, and they can't be user-edited. I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to let MFP know about these errors.

    One of the "verified" entries for my Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich had "1 C" as the only option of a serving size. It doesn't even say that on the package!

    It's shenanigans, I tell you.

    I saw milliliters and fluid ounces on the verified entry for plain M&Ms.

    Suuuuure.

    I wonder what they're basing it on. I'm sorry I ever clicked "yes" for "Is this entry correct?" if that's how they're doing it. Because I know companies change their formulas and Aldi (where I buy a lot of things) seems to use regional sources.
