Part of the Loopa iOS app guide.
Food data quality is the quiet check that helps keep the numbers you log honest. When you pull up a food to log it, Loopa runs a one-time AI sanity check on its serving size and macros and shows you the result, and it gives you a way to report a food whose data looks wrong. You'll see both in the Portion editor on The Food log screen (the sheet that opens when you tap a search result). See Using the iOS app for the wider tour.
General wellness tracking, not medical advice.
The AI check indicator
The first time anyone pulls up a given food, an AI checker judges whether its serving size looks typical and whether its calories and macros are plausible and roughly consistent. The Portion editor shows the verdict as a small indicator:
- AI-checked means the serving and macros look reasonable.
- AI: serving may be off means the serving size looks atypical.
- AI: data flagged means the numbers look implausible and are worth a second look.
The check runs once per food and the result is cached, so it's instant afterward and never re-spends. It's advisory. It flags what's worth a closer look; it doesn't change the food's numbers on its own.
Report incorrect data
If a food's data looks wrong, tap Report incorrect data in the Portion editor. A prompt asks "What looks wrong? (optional)" and notes that "An admin will review it and we'll re-check it with AI." Send it and you'll see *"Thanks. Flagged for review." Behind the scenes your report does two things at once: it re-checks the food with AI immediately, and it *escalates to your community's admins' to review and resolve.
To keep it fair, there are limits: you can have only one open report per food, and there's a daily cap on how many foods one person can flag.
