You can edit shared food items using the web version, as long as they do not have a green check mark. Navigate to FOOD > Database, search for the item, then click edit.
If you created a shared food item, or edited a shared food item, that item will temporarily display in the list of My Foods. You can not delete it from My Foods. However, if another user edits that item, the other user will become the temporary "owner" of that item and it will disappear from your My Foods list and then appear on the other user's My Foods list.0 -
It's very weird... I just want to get rid of the foods I'm no longer using!!0

This is dumb and needs to be fixed. I have a food item on here from 5 years ago, that is no longer even in production anymore, that is essentially orphaned on my "My Foods" list. My OCD wants it gone!0

Actually, the reason you can't edit it is that you're the one who created it (wacky, I know). The system seems to assume we're all perfect and therefore couldn't possibly want to correct our own mistakes. However, since it's public, you could ask a friend to edit it.0
