This class is the top-level element that represents different classifications of food. An ingredient individual will have the type of the most specific category it falls under. For example, "chicken egg" will be a type of "egg" which is a subclass of "poultry product" which is a subclass of "primary food commodity of animal origin" which is a subclass of "food". Additional classifications can be added at any level of the classification.
