Adding food

Hi
I’m logged on but I can’t add new foods. As I type ‘carrot’ it doesn’t offer me any food type, only what I’ve eaten before, pls can someone guide me

    I am having the same issue, I can't add new foods and only see previously eaten foods. Very frustrating!!!

    Ditto. Search doesn't work at all, and match ingredients matches maybe half (didn't even match "milk").

    Are you on the app or on the website? Both are working fine for me.

    When you've typed in your search words do you click search? If you don't click search then it will show you foods you've selected before. When you click search it brings up foods from the database.

    It looks to be intermittent. I shut down the webpage, went back in and was able to search again.

    ETA - it is a known issue and the devs are looking into it.
