Change the data entry

Unfortunately I often have to see scanning merchandise that the values in MFP database is fraud and by no means same as food label. I send core tons but they are never applied to help people too.
I suggest changing your data entry team.

I'm a little confused by what you're saying, and particularly by your use of the word fraud, but the database is (by large majority) user entered, and not by MFP staff, and it is an international site where the nutrition and ingredients of products can be different in different countries and may have changed over time.

Would it be nice for MFP to have a data team vetting entries and keeping them up to date and curating the database like an actual library? Sure! Would they be able to offer the free option, or even the <$10 a month membership while paying the people they would need to do that? hell no!

They're not particularly responsive to suggested changes, and sure they have ignored some reports of blatantly wrong entries (there is a green checked one for pumpkin that reckons it's 2600 calories for 100g, for instance) but in the grand scheme, it's a huge, comprehensive database servicing basically the entire world, where the user needs to be mindful of ensuring that they use the correct entry. It's not a perfect resource, but it gets us 80% there, and for free.
