Which category includes canned soups and dry beans?

• A. Paper and disposables
• B. Frozen
• C. Canned and Dry
• D. Dairy

Answer: (C)

Canned soups and dry beans are shelf-stable pantry items. They’re stored on shelves and don’t require refrigeration, which is why they fit into the Canned and Dry category. This category groups foods that come in cans or in dry packaging, making them easy to store for long periods. They’re not located with Paper and disposables, which covers disposable paper products; they’re not with Frozen, since these items aren’t frozen; and they’re not with Dairy, which includes refrigerated dairy products. So, the best fit for these items is Canned and Dry.
