nonfood
Cannot be eaten
Nonfood describes items that aren't meant to be eaten, especially in contexts where food is the default: the nonfood aisles at the grocery store, nonfood items like cleaning supplies and paper towels.
The term appears most often in retail and regulatory contexts to distinguish edible products from everything else sold alongside them.
