food or foods

Is food countable or uncountable? Well, it's both.

Food is uncountable when we talk about food in general.

➢ I need to buy some food from the supermarket.

But it can also be countable when we talk about different types of food, for

example, perishable foods - these are types of food which decay or rot quickly,

such as vegetables, fresh meat and fresh fish.

➢ Perishable foods should be stored in the refrigerator.

And here, of course, I'm talking about types of food. So it's perishable foods.
