For my autistic children, throwing things was a constant problem. Our strategy was "overcorrection". It is time consuming, but if the adults commit to it, you will extinguish the behavior.
When the little one throws something, physically assist them to go pick it up and put it away appropriately or assist them to use it correctly. Then you toss it away again, and help them go get it again. And again. And again. Ten times. Every time they throw the object, any object.
This worked for several severely autistic children who threw their work materials during their work sessions. We got them all to stop, every one of them. One boy would constantly take things in the grocery store and dump in mom's shopping cart. Making him put it back 10 times stopped that behavior pretty fast.
You have to make the decision how important this is, how big a problem. If you decide to use the overcorrection technique, it is a big committment in time and energy. All adults have to respond the same way or it will turn into a game and make things worse.
Be sure to use a "flat affect" when doing the overcorrection. Not smiling, not angry--very matter of fact, even if they begin to cry and refuse to pick up the toy. That will likely happen, by the way.
Food for a toddler I'd handle differently. Just take the food away.
