You find food by starting in your Diary. Go to the Diary, choose one of the meal slots, then Add Food, type the name of the item, click or tap search (search may be the magnifying glass on the mobile app). On the mobile app you can also scan a package barcode instead of typing text.
Please see this article, and search for answers to Frequently Asked Questions and other helpful articles, on the MFP Help/FAQ pages...

On the web version there is also a tab for database under food where you can look up foods and look at the nutritional data without adding to your daily diary.1
