The most contested item was Orange Juice, which 40% placed with Dairy and 33% with Beverages, reflecting its dual nature as both refrigerated and a drink.

Dairy products form the strongest category cluster - Milk, Cheese, Butter, and Yogurt were grouped together by 14 of 15 participants
Produce items (Apples, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Onions, Bananas) showed 87% grouping consistency despite mixing fruits and vegetables
Protein sources (Chicken, Beef, Salmon) were consistently grouped, though 20% separated Seafood into its own category

Dairy products form the strongest category cluster - Milk, Cheese, Butter, and Yogurt were grouped together by 14 of 15 participants

Produce items (Apples, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Onions, Bananas) showed 87% grouping consistency despite mixing fruits and vegetables

Protein sources (Chicken, Beef, Salmon) were consistently grouped, though 20% separated Seafood into its own category

Eggs proved divisive - placed with Dairy by 60%, with Breakfast items by 27%, and with Proteins by 13%

Participants tended to create 6-7 categories on average, suggesting this is the natural cognitive grouping size for grocery items

Recommended Next Steps
Actionable recommendations based on the card sort results
1

Consider placing Orange Juice near both Dairy and Beverages sections for findability

2

Group Eggs with Dairy in store layout, but consider secondary placement near breakfast items

3

Keep Salmon with other proteins rather than creating a separate seafood section

4

Test a combined 'Fruits & Vegetables' produce section rather than separating them
