Can't Update Nutrition Info

I've tried several times to update nutrition info on a product that's been entered multiple times. On some entries, all I can do is say the nutrition info isn't right. On another, I was "allowed" to enter the updated information (the original entry was over 5 years ago) but then it said: Please correct the following errors: Description An item with this brand and description already exists. Should information that is years old be able to be updated? Product is Cuisine Adventures Spanakopita. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/edit/580435

    Is this a food you entered into the database yourself? If so, go to your MY FOODS and search/edit that way.

    Otherwise, I don't see how you could possibly know that it was entered five years ago?

    Just enter a new food into the database.

    ..and yeah, there are multiples of lots of things. You kind of have to work around that. If it continues to not let you enter (or edit) a new food even from your MY FOODS list, that is a bug you might want to report.

    On the website it tells you when the entry was "submitted" and the last date on which a user confirmed the nutrition information. (You see this when you click on nutrition info for an entry and get that pop-up window.)
