    The food database is mostly crowd-sourced, entered by regular users like you and me . . . except some of them aren't as meticulous about accuracy, or don't care about nutrition as much as you or me. So some database items are inaccurate, some wildly inaccurate. That's true even for the bar-coded and even some green-checked items.

    I'd bet that if you do a food search by typing in the name of what you're eating, and look at the many possible name-matching items, you'll find one that's accurate. Once you find the right one and log it, it will stay in your recent/frequent foods in MFP as long as you eat it semi-frequently, and that entry will come up when you search so you don't need to verify every time.
