New "verified foods"?

So I just went to put in the steak I had for lunch (a deliciously chewy top sirloin that was even more deliciously marked down) and saw the changes to the food database. The asterisk is gone(although if you click a food it still gives you that it's user submitted) and there are now "verified foods" that have a large green check mark. One of those foods is a top sirloin entry, which claims that it has 4 carbs. According to the USDA it does not, I just checked. Verified foods are apparently generated by users confirming the nutrition info. They cannot be edited because they are "highly trusted".
Anyone else found any of these yet? Or know of a way to sort so that the non-user entries come up first in this new system?

I saw a verified food entry, but didn't check it for accuracy.0
