edited November 2024 in Food and Nutrition
I scanned gramcracker and looked at the nutritional facts that came up and they are wrong. How do I edit this?

    Go to the food database, and type in the type of food you are looking to edit. As long as it doesn't have a green checkmark, you will see an Edit button pop up by the words Nutrition Facts after you click on the food. After you edit the information, there is a place at the bottom to say what you edited and why (This is not optional). Then you can just submit the changes. I've edited a few entries when they were lacking a few nutritional facts.

    I think you can only edit entries from your computer. I haven't seen an edit button on my phone.

    I have the free version too. Are you using your phone or computer @gerbradaisy44 ?

    When looking up foods on the computer, click on the food item and then click "nutrition info", there you will find the edit button.
