Grocery lists cannot be copyrighted. But recipes can be considered a trade
secret. (My client yesterday is very concerned with protecting recipes for
things...) Inasmuch as the particular parts used to comprise a model can be
considered a recipe they can be protected by agreements with the individual
users or purchasers. I have such an agreement in place.
But again, this is not particularly likely to be of consequence as there's
no real reason to make the info public, it's not of any use to anyone other
than people who are building the set.
