Food or foods? Hello! Which one of the following sentences is correct? 1. She works for a company that produces food. OR 2. She works for a company that produces foods. I've learned that "food" is uncountable noun but can use it, sometimes, as a plural?

Basically, "food" is uncountable. This is your starting point. When we say "foods", we mean "various kinds of food". In your example sentence, you would use "foodstuffs" (ie. edible products). "She works for a company that produces foodstuffs."
