Thats wild, I'm used to zero rating on basic food goods in the UK. Unless its chocolate. That's taxable. Unless its a chocolate cake, thats a basic food again. But a chocolate biscuit attracts tax. Which was the whole thing about [jaffa cakes](https://astonshaw.co.uk/jaffa-cake-tax/) and their tax status was about. Its a cake, therefore a basic food. Catering, Alcohol, confectionary, crisps and snacks, hot food, sports drinks, ice cream and soft drinks are taxed. Its all a bit [complicated](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/food-products-and-vat-notice-70114#general-food-products), but the more you can imagine someone eating it in 1910 the more likely its zero rated.
