When making a recipe I cannot find a database item?

So I have a vegetarian recipe for chili. One of the ingredients is the Morningstar Farms Griller Recipe Crumbles.
When I search in the database I can find it very quickly. When I create a recipe it doesn't show up. Even if I search for just Morningstar Farms. How do I get this item into my recipe?

Are you using the app for MFP or going to the website.. I use the website and went to recipes and put it in there and found it. I had problems with the app also, but now going to the actual site... Hope that helps

There is also the option to "Create Food" and enter the item yourself if you can't find what you're looking for in the database.

I'm entering the recipe here on the website. I don't have the app installed yet. I guess I'll have to create my own food to get it into my recipe.
