Definition	Class 30 comprises items of plant origin that are prepared for human consumption or for conservation. However, Class 30 does not include processed vegetables, which are in Class 29. Processed grains are in Class 30 as they are a plant product and not a vegetable. Cereal grain products like flour are in this class, as well as products made with flour, such as bread and pastry. Edible substances that sweeten or improve the flavour of food, like sugar, honey, aromatic substances, preserved herbs, salt and condiments are also in Class 30. Certain foods and beverages are classified according to the predominant ingredient. Most beverages are in Classes 32 and 33; however, when the Class 30 ingredient is the dominant component, the beverage is in Class 30. This is the case for coffee-, tea-, cocoa- or chocolate-based beverages in Class 30. 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.
