Preferred label	Meat, fish, poultry and game; meat extracts; preserved, frozen, dried and cooked fruits and vegetables; jellies, jams, compotes; eggs; milk and milk products; edible oils and fats
Definition	The food items in Class 29 are of animal and vegetable origin and are prepared for human consumption or for conservation. Fresh vegetables and fruits are in Class 31, even when the plants have been cut from the ground or the fruits picked from the trees. But once the vegetables or the fruits have been processed for consumption or conservation, for example, cut for a ready-made salad, frozen or cooked into a purée, a compote or a jam, they become a Class 29 product. Certain foods and beverages are classified according to the predominant ingredient. Most beverages are in Classes 32 and 33; however, when the Class 29 ingredient is the dominant component, the beverage is in Class 29. This is the case for milk beverages, milk predominating in Class 29. Foods like pizza and sandwiches are classified in Class 30 although they are covered with or contain Class 29 items such as cheese, ham, tuna fish, eggs or vegetables, because the predominant ingredient is considered to be the bread or the pizza paste, both classified in Class 30. Following this principle, many prepared meals or filled foodstuffs are classified in Classes 29 or 30, depending on the predominant ingredient. "Sauces (condiments)" is part of the Class 30 heading, it is also and entry in the Alphabetical List, sauces [condiments]. However, as certain sauces that are not necessarily condiments, like fruit coulis and tomato sauce, are also in Class 30, while cranberry sauce, jellies, jam and compotes are in Class 29, the alphabetical list should be carefully consulted when classifying these types of products.
