Is there anyway to add a barcode to an existing item in the food database?

I used the scanner on some nutrisystem stuff but it said I need to create a food since it didn't find anything. After creating one I found there were already two entries just with no barcode.

Hi there Jacob,

If you report an issue with the food, our curation team can add the barcode for everyone to use. Here's how to do that on the mobile app:

Alternatively, you can edit a copy of a food to add a barcode number on our website:

1. In the Foods tab, select Search Foods.
2. Search for the food and open it in the Food Editor.
3. Click the menu in the top right corner and Edit a Copy.
4. Click the green + next to barcodes and enter in the barcode number.
5. Save the food to your list of custom foods.

Now you can search for the barcode number to find the food.
