Can I correct the calorie count for a barcode scan of TJ's Turkey Chili?

Trader Joes's new label for canned Turkey Chili now has both per cup and per container calorie counts.

When I do a barcode scan of this new label, the per cup calorie count agrees the can, but the per container count is VERY different: can = 410, MFP scan = 480.

Does MFP allow users to fix errors in its barcode database?

    My experience is: you can correct it via 'Report food' at the bottom of the entry. But you need to indicate 'save to my foods' when correcting it, because the actual entry won't be corrected (you'll still get the wrong one when scanning), you'll just have the correct version of it in your saved foods.
