Which of the following is NOT a sub department for meat?

The correct answer is C, Deli Snacks, because this category does not belong to the meat sub-departments within a grocery store's meat department. The meat section typically includes areas that specialize in various forms of meat, such as fresh meat, frozen meat products, and seafood, which contain specific items sourced directly from animal proteins.

Fresh meat refers to products that are unprocessed or minimally processed, while frozen meat encompasses products that have been frozen for preservation. Seafood, another vital sub-department, includes fish and shellfish items. On the other hand, deli snacks consist of pre-packaged or prepared items that may include cured meats, cheeses, and snack-sized products, but do not fit the traditional meat categorization used for managing meat inventory and sales. Therefore, Deli Snacks is appropriately identified as not being part of the meat sub-department.
