Food Database overhaul

I know it's a mammoth task but do you ever review the foods listed in the DB. So many are badly wrong, like chesses with no sodium! I find it quite a chore to check the foods before adding them, to the point that I now add my own foods. Also, when a user "confirms" a food is "accurate" is this verified before giving the green tick of approval. If a user tags a food as inaccurate, do you remove it?
