Sure. There's no currently no way to do it from within GNUtrition but 
everything is stored in the database so use any program that can work 
with SQLite databases should work for you. Just edit the database directly.

I plan to add this ability to GNUtrition in a future version.

Database documentation can be found online at the USDA website:
