How to add commonly available food to FitBit database?

I buy foods from "Daily Harvest" and it's hit-or-miss if the foods will be pre-populated in the app. Many of the smoothies are (although the calorie/nutrition information is sometimes slightly off) but only some of their flatbreads are in there. I'd like to be able to add a food so that not only myself but others as well who eat from Daily Harvest can search and easily add these foods but I don't know how to do this. 

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

To add a food just use the Add custom food link. You can also expand it using the detail Slide bar.

 

However these are not sharable to anyone. They can only be used by you.

 

No way to add shareable food what so ever.

@WendyB Oh, that's a bummer. I did the "custom food" add but wanted to actually benefit the community (not just myself). 

 

Is there any way to send in the information to the dev-team to have them add things in? Or is that not a thing either?

 

Too bad, I feel like they are missing out on a huge opportunity to have people submit pictures of the nutritional facts, input all the information, and then they just update or verify as need be. I feel like I did that on one app or another sometime in the past, but I really disliked using apps that were outside of my fitbit/most other apps I didn't like the interface on.

If you think about it some it would develop into a huge undertaking for them.

 

There is also no way to to determine if the person NI is correct either.

 

I myself dont want to use others as I do not know if its correct or not. I have run into many places where People post the NI on there recipes and when I figure it its way off.

 

But this is me
