🍱 食 = eat/food + 品 = goods/items → food goods = groceries/foodstuffs
食 means food or to eat; 品 means goods, articles, or products (three 口 mouths stacked = wares). Together they literally spell food-products, covering menu items, provisions, and chow.
品 — three 口 (mouth) stacked
品 is an ideogram showing three 口 (mouths or openings) piled together. The repetition of 口 suggests many people, items, or voices, which gave rise to meanings like 'kinds,' 'goods,' 'rank,' and 'to taste/judge.' The triple stacking is a common Chinese device for indicating plurality or variety.
