    It's obviously an incorrect entry. There are many of them scattered through the database.

    Entries like these really do make me wonder about some people... :anguished:

    You will find that many entries in MFP are incorrect, as they are user entered. Given that protein is 4 calories per gram, it is a physical impossibility to have a food that contains protein but does not contain calories, but for whatever reason, the MFP database allows people to enter those foods and share them publicly anyway.

    I double check all my entries, even the green ticked ones.

    I've corrected many, it'll bring up the right product, but the rest can be completely wrong

    It is like they read the wrong column, inputting say the 30/100g instead of the whole packet etc
