We will add your suggestion to the development list, i.e. add an option in the preferences panel so users can override the suggested entry form as this is a great idea (thanks!), but ideally we would prefer the software to automatically suggest the best form as many users do not venture into the preferences panels, and in an ideal world they should never have to, so if any users know of specific countries that seem to have moved to the US / Canada nutritional label please let us know and we will look into these and update the software accordingly.

It might be nice to have this as an option in the 'Preferences' panel rather than based on the users country. Many countries import food from the USA, or have adopted the USA nutrition labels.

At the moment our food database for India is still small, but it is growing quite quickly and will automatically be updated in the software as new products are added.
