A rule of thumb is that if you paid sales tax for it, it's probably not food.

Of course "not food" is mostly fine.

Not a great rule of thumb as every state and municipality is different in this regard.

Many places will have different rates for raw food, prepared to go / delivery, and prepared for on-site consumption.
