Noticed it says 4g Carbs...it's actually 13.7 according to Modelo. There's another Modelo Especial option, which is correct. https://www.modelousa.com/en-US/faq

    The database is user entered and maintained. You can select the entry (if it does not have a green check mark) and edit the data yourself. You can also create your own entry. If you create an entry and don't add it to the public database, it will be available in your 'My Foods' and can't be changed by anyone else.

    what @bpetrosky said, with the disclosure that you cannot edit an entry with a green check mark...no matter how wrong it is.

    How do you edit? I have tried to edit database entries before but there is no mechanism to do it, at least on myiPhone and iPad. How is this done?

    You can only edit entries via the website. Annoying, isn’t it?

    Most of the entries are wrong. Some egregiously. MFP could easily remedy this by eventually dropping entries that are passed over by users repeatedly. But they are too cheap or stupid to do it. Very irritating when there are five entries for the same product and all of them are different.
