I am stuck on this one. It is saying the has_value? method is not being called.

I need some help on this objective.

hash.rb 
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }

val = grocery_item.has_value?("Bread") 

if val = true
  grocery_item = {"food" => true}   
end

Hi Gareth - In the if statement use == to check for equality.
