food item
Just an alternative to foodstuffs or food. However, food item is convenient to use since it can be combined with non-food items.

foodstuff
I would use "groceries" for "dagligvaror" and "foodstuff" for "livsmedel".
Ref 1: "Livsmedel är ett ämne eller en produkt avsedd att användas som mat eller dryck."
Ref 2: "Definition of foodstuffs. A foodstuff is regarded as any item of food or drink, or any other commodity, intended for. human consumption"

groceries
I agree with both of the other answers, but you don't specify the audience for the presentation; groceries might be the preferred term even though it isn't as specific.

provisions/food
This is what I've usually known them as (foodstuffs = for animal food in my experience, food for humans).
