    Where do we send the message? I eat Chobani Greek Lemon Yogurt and there are many entries in the database but none of them match exactly to the label. Some of wrong calories but everything else is right. Others have right calories but wrong fat or fiber. Others are missing all nutrients except calories. I have pictures of the container but don't know where to send them. Thank you.

    OK, thank you. Chobani Lemon Greek Yogurt, 5.3 oz container. There are MANY listings for this item and all of the ones I looked at were inaccurate. If the calories were correct, the fat and fiber were incorrect.
