1 Inconsistent Ingredient Recognition (Brand Specific) Current Behavior: Ingredient detection is inconsistent across different brands of the same food. Example: When scanning "Creamed Spinach," Brand A might correctly register the spinach (contributing to my vegetable intake), whereas Brand B will only populate the Macros (Protein/Fat/Carbs) and ignore the spinach entirely. Impact: This creates gaps in nutritional tracking where I am not credited for healthy ingredients depending purely on which brand I bought. Suggestion: The database needs standardizing so that ingredient lists are consistently pulled for all brands.

2 Scoring Logic: Inconsistent "Processing" Penalties & Red Meat Bias

Current Behavior: The app correctly identifies and penalizes Processed Meats, which is great. However, the scoring logic seems to stop there, leading to two major inconsistencies:

A. The "Non-Meat" Loophole Highly processed foods that are not meat often escape penalty. A product can be full of unhealthy additives—such as hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial colorings, or preservatives—but because it isn't "Processed Meat," the score remains high. The scoring system needs to scan the ingredient list for these specific additives across all categories, not just meat.

B. The Unjustified "Red Meat" Penalty Conversely, I am penalized for eating unprocessed, low-fat red meat. Since I am choosing lean cuts with no additives, the health risks (often associated with high saturated fat or processing) are negated. Penalizing "Red Meat" as a blanket category is scientifically outdated; if it is lean and unprocessed, it should be scored similarly to other whole-protein sources.

Summary of Request: Please shift the negative scoring triggers from broad categories to specific ingredient detection.

Unprocessed Lean Red Meat → Should not be penalized.

Any Food with Unhealthy Additives → Should be penalized (regardless of category).

3 Persistently Empty Micronutrients Issue: The Nutrients tab consistently shows 0 for the following, despite my diet containing known sources of them:

1. Chromium

2. Molybdenum

3. Folates

4. Chloride (Note: I do not track added salt, but food sources are not registering).

I suspect the database values for these specific nutrients are empty for the vast majority of items.
