Anyone have certain foods when scanned not have correct nutitional info?

Good morning, I am new to this food tracking, I've had some gronola products (KIND) and particularly the Peanut Butter Cluster. When scanned the nutitional info isn't aligned with what is on the packaging. Can the info be adjusted in the APP?

    Most of the information in the database is user created, and a lot is outdated or from other countries. You already checked and noticed that the info is incorrect. Now the next step would be to check whether there's a different database entry that fits better. Finally, if there isn't then you can create a new entry, and either only use it for yourself, or for everyone.

    Sometimes manufacturers reduce the serving size. Try experimenting with slightly different servings, like 0.9 servings instead of 1.

    Yes a significant amount of the barcode entries are wrong - sadly it doesn’t save as much time as you hope.

    We used to be allowed to correct/update the nutritional information if it was wrong in the database. Now we can't do that. At least not in the web version. We have to do a complete entry and put some kind of "marker" to show that it is the latest and the correct one (for now). That is the reason why the food database is so crowded and confusing.
