Only fat content is off in every food I search

So when searching for a food in the database, I have no problem finding it with one exception. The fat content is always off. Do people round up or something? All the other nutritional info will be the same, but fat is always off. Like if the fish I ate says 2.5 g of fat, I can only find it in the database as 3 g of fat. Frustrating!

    Well rounding up is usually safer. If it's only .5 off and the calories are listed accurate, it shouldn't really matter.You can always go in and add the correct version if you'd like.

    Even if you correct the entry and show the .5 when you enter the correction it rounds it up to the "whole" amount. It appears the listing is programmed that way. Not that significant in the overall count. Especially because no nutritional info on labels is 100% accurate.
