Recipe ingredients reference missing servings

[Nate Rojas]

I have noticed that several recipes will have an ingredient that will reference serving information on a food but the serving does not exist. 

For example the recipe for "Lemon Pepper Chicken" (recipe_id 162) has the ingredient "Chicken Breast Meat (Broilers or Fryers)" (food_id 34447). On the recipe it has "serving_id": "30968" but when I pull the food from the database to get the associated macros for that food it only has servings with ids 57178, 42420, 30969. 

I have noticed this across many recipes that I have encountered in my testing. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Nate,

Thanks for reaching out. We are aware of this issue which is due to a recent change in retiring old serving size options that had not been in use anymore and this affects around 5% of recipes globally.

We hope to address this later this year or next.

Happy to assist further.

Kind regards,
