Item Levels for Food / Drink

[quasiconundrum]

Unless I'm missing something, the CRB gives no item levels for food or drink. Life Science allows you to craft food and drink, but...how many ranks are needed given that item levels aren't stated?

Wouldn't any food or drink items be 1st level? Otherwise, you would have the ludicrous situation that there is some food you can't eat because it is too far above your level.

I assumed as much. You know what they say about assuming, though. Just thought I'd throw it out there in case I was actually missing something.

"I'm sorry Sir, but you don't seem to have the proper license to order the Tarilian Slug Soup. Might I suggest you try our Shiitake and Cod Soup instead. They taste remarkable similar."

But seriously, I have to agree with David about all foods/drinks being level one. At least until they introduce food/drink that provides a temporary buff. Though I could see a clever DM having your use a Life Science check to properly clean and cook a poisonous animal while in the wilderness somewhere. Otherwise, additional ranks could be used to distinguish a 1 star dish up to 5 stars dish.
