There is a dietitian certified food in the database that has an error. How do we report it?

    What do you mean, dietician certified food? Most of the foods are crowdsourced. Even the green checkmarks don't guarantee a correct entry.
    In the app you can report the food by scrolling down and then correct the entry and save it to My Foods.
    That last bit is crucial, because reporting does nothing - if you save it to My Foods you can use the corrected entry later on.

    With a million entries, and manufacturers changing portions and formulations, no one is tasked to fix any of them. It isn't even possible.

    In the beginning of the site, every single entry got added to the public database. At least now the tool asks if you want to share it. There are still 50 of every item in there. One of them is right! :lol: maybe...

    What Lietchi said is the best solution. It fixes it for YOU, and it only takes a few seconds.
