Deleting Foods From Your "My Foods" list

Is there any way of clearing out the "My Foods" list? There are tons of foods in there that I will not and do not eat or need anymore. It's so frustrating going through years of foods just to find the right one.

When you created a My Foods item, if you shared it with the public Food Database, no, you can not delete it. If another user edits it from the public Food Database, the ownership of the database record will transfer to the other user and it will drop off of your My Foods list and show up on the other user's My Foods list.
If you created a My Foods item and it is private, you can delete it.
If you are talking about the Recent list, the items that are displayed on the Recent list are the result of a database query of the items logged in your Food Diary. You can delete items from your Food Diary and then they will not be displayed in the Recent list query.0 -
