False information

It is illegal to put false information on nutrition facts labels so I firmly believe that your information on Coke zero is wrong as the label clearly states there are zero calories per bottle and if they don't put the right information on, they will and can be fined

what is the entry that you are referring to? the food database is crowd-sourced so there are many, many entries that are incorrect…

MFP's database is not subject to nutrition label regulations. It's manufacturers who are subject to those regulations, regarding the nutrition labels they put on packages and their own website.

Also, MFP's food database is largely crowd-sourced, i.e., foods are entered by regular users like you and me . . . except that some of those users aren't meticulous about accuracy, or live in places where labeling regulations were different, or entered the food at a time/place where the food's formulation was different, or . . . etc.

Pick an entry from the database that reflects the data on your Coke Zero can, if that's what you want. Don't use the bar code scanner if that's how you got the entry you don't like: Those database items are just entered by regular users, too.

Another thing to know: If you're in the US, IMU manufacturers here are legally allowed to label a package as zero calories when one serving has anything fewer than 5 calories. You'll find that some food database entries were created by people who know that and will enter 4-5 calories per serving for foods labeled as zero calories, just to be conservative. Note that a can/bottle may be labeled as more than one serving.

Solution: Pick entries from the database that have the data you think is correct, or create your own in My Foods. MFP isn't bound by nutrition-label regulations, and other users have created the data you think is false, not MFP.
