Coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar, rice, tapioca, sago, artificial coffee; flour and preparations made from cereals, bread, pastry and confectionery, ices; honey, treacle; yeast, baking powder; salt, mustard; vinegar, sauces (condiments); spices; ice.

But, some trademarks are used on a wider range of goods or services and therefore must be registered in multiple Classes.

The USPTO provides an ID Manual that allows users to search for acceptable identifications of goods and services.

Intent-to-Use Applications

You’ll also need to provide the date you first used your trademark in commerce and the date you first used it anywhere.
