peer agreement (net): +1foodstuff Explanation: I would use "groceries" for "dagligvaror" and "foodstuff" for "livsmedel". Ref 1: "Livsmedel är ett ämne eller en produkt avsedd att användas som mat eller dryck." Ref 2: "Definition of foodstuffs. A foodstuff is regarded as any item of food or drink, or any other commodity, intended for. human consumption" Reference: http://susning.nu/Livsmedel Reference: http://www.skatteetaten.no/upload/Act%20and%20regulations%20... |

food item Explanation: Just an alternative to foodstuffs or food. However, food item is convenient to use since it can be combined with non-food items. |

provisions/food Explanation: This is what I've usually known them as (foodstuffs = for animal food in my experience, food for humans). |
