This category resides under Business & Industrial > Food Service in the Google product taxonomy and is the most granular classification available for this product type.

What does not belong here
Do not map items here that belong to other specialized industry categories. For example, disposable containers for carry-out food go in Take-Out Containers or Concession Food Containers. Items used for organizing busing operations belong in Bus Tubs, while containers for food display that are not baskets may fall under Disposable Serveware. Do not place industrial food carts or vending equipment in this category as they have their own distinct classifications.
