Frequently asked questions

What happens after I report a food?

Our nutrition team reviews the report and updates the entry if the information is confirmed inaccurate.

Will the food update immediately after I report it?

No. Reports go through a review process, so corrections aren't instant.

Can I report more than one issue on the same food?

Yes. Submit a separate report for each category that applies, such as both the name and the nutrition values.
