HI there...I havent been on this site for very long but wondering how to get the food database cleaned up for a specific food? The one I ran into today was for Sabra Hummus....many of the entries show no calcium...but there is in that product....I can imagine other food entries also need occasional updating...how does that get done? Or how do I request? Deb (I did add another entry to the list with label values...but now there are a dozen different ones!)

    Search for the food item your are looking for. Click on it. To the right will be a blue shaded box. There will be in blue "nutritional information." Click on that. It will ask is this information correct? Select no and it will allow you to edit it. Note the changes you made and then select save. You might even change the "name" slightly so you can identify that one as "yours" I had the same issue with Raw Almonds and couldn't find the one I edited b/c there were several raw almonds but with different nutrutional values.
