Do any US states charge sales tax on (non-restaurant) food? Canada certainly doesn't, and I would be surprised if any European states do either.

It depends on the food item. Ready to eat things like premade sandwiches or frozen food may have some taxes. Raw ingredients - produce, meat, eggs, bread, rice, oils, milk, cheese, etc- tend not to.
