Tracking Micronutrients?

I initially joined several years ago and seem to remember that back then you could see in your food analysis how well you were doing in getting vitamins, in addition to carbs, fat, and protein. Now it looks like that's not available, even in premium. (Calorie Count offers this, and shows which of your foods are high in various nutrients and how much more you need in, say, Vitamin A to reach your recommended daily value, but their food logging mechanism is really awkward so I'm back here.) Am I missing something, or are vitamins and recommended amounts of nutrients not shown here at My Fitness Pal?

The only vitamin values that would be in any way possibly accurate here are those included in the standard nutrition labels, Vitamin A, C, Iron, and Calcium. Even Potassium is not required with the current labels, although I think it will be included in the new ones. That is why there is not a micro-nutrient breakdown beyond perhaps those ones.0

You can see the micronutrients in the Smartphone app: From main menu, Other, Nutrition, Nutrients0
