    The vast majority of the database is created by other users, many of whom don’t care to put in the correct numbers or even account for micronutrients

    The amount of potassium is missing from a lot of entries and is also missing from many food labels because they're not required to report it. Sadly

    There are existing records in the Food Database that MFP imported from the USDA many years ago that contain the micronutrient values available in MFP. It just takes the right syntax to find them.

    Search for "pork fresh shoulder lean raw" to get a list of raw choices.

    Search for "pork fresh shoulder lean cooked" to get a list of cooked choices.
