 We used to say food and beverages, low value, low risk. People want the Target, the electronics, the pharmaceuticals, the high-end apparel. But inflation has made food and drink items a target for criminals. They can get rid of stolen food items quickly, and consumers are more than willing to take advantage of a deal. If I can buy those canned goods at the mom-and-pop store for a third of the cost, and the Dayco's good on it, why not? Companies are trying to make looting foodstuffs more difficult.
