I’m in renal failure and depend on accuracy for potassium in foods. At least 5 of my foods seem to have erroneous data, peanut butter, marmalade’s, noodles, blueberries, Jewish rye bread, all show zero potassium?? Something wrong and frustrating.

    The nutrition data is entered by other MFP users. They make mistakes and some only enter partial information. All users have access to the same public Food Database.

    MFP specifically does not guaranty the accuracy of its data in the Terms of Service users agree to when creating an account.

    If a user has a medical requirement, they should not rely on MFP for accurate data.

    In many countries potassium is not required to be on nutrition labels so many folks simply don’t have the data to enter.

    Premium uses the same database, so yes, it would have the same numbers.
