MyNetDiary and PlateAI Food Catalog changes over time, which reflects changes in food industry: vendors buy and sell food brands, companies change name while growing the business and introduce new product flavors. While improving Food Catalog, our research team removes obsolete foods from database and marks these foods as retired. If you want to enter the same food again, use the same words to search for the new food replacing the retired one.
When you delete a custom food, our apps retire this custom food similarly to system foods.
I noticed retired foods in my diary!
The food catalog changes as vendors buy and sell brands, rename themselves and add flavors, so the research team marks obsolete foods as retired. Your older diary records keep showing them, which is why they still appear. To enter the same food again, search with the same words and pick the new replacement.
