Starbucks Sandwich Sadness

I used to (note past tense!) love the Starbucks Thai Chicken Wrap Sandwich... for 460 calories it was a great lunch to pick up when on a road trip or a busy day of errands. Today I had one and after I had finished it I happened to flip the package over and see that the calories had increased to a whopping 680!!! I scanned the bar code of the package in MFP and it still shows the old calorie count of 460. I guess it is time to get over my love affair with this sandwich as it is not worth the new calorie count! Additional Question: is there a way to notify MFP to update their database?

    The database is user created and you can't edit existing entries, so the best you could do is manually create it based on the new label and have a second entry in the database.

    You can edit entries as long as they aren’t verified

    I've edited entries in the past. Do those edits not save for other users, or is it a 1-time deal for me and my diary, at that particular moment?

    Makes you wonder, did they add something or were they just off from the get go. I often suspect that the "test Kitchen" is deliberately low on things like mayo that will put the calorie count up. The reality is that the person making the item likes mayo and lays it on thick. I try to use mustard on my sandwiches to offset this phenomena.

    That is exactly what I said! The packaging says “new”. It looked and tasted exactly the same to me but my guess is that they either did not account for the peanut sauce originally or they have added fat to the chicken stuff inside. Either way definitely not worth 680!
