Can I sell grocery, food & beverages on Amazon?
Amazon lists this category as restricted or commonly requiring approval in US, UK, JP.
For DE, FR, IT, ES, CA the status is unknown: Amazon does not publish it on a page readable without logging in, so we do not guess. A listed-as-open category can still contain restricted products or brands, and approval itself is decided by Amazon case by case.
