Portuguese term or phrase:culinários
Ela atua em doze segmentos de mercado: Lácteos, Cafés, **Culinários**, Achocolatados, Cereais, Biscoitos, Nutrição, Chocolates, Refrigerados, Sorvetes, FoodServices e PetCare.
Yes, I'm sure it's a very broad category - just think of that aisle in your local supermarket with all the baking products, sauces, etc, in. Incidentally, I think 'culinarios' is a noun here - or at worst an adjectival noun.

Yes, "culinary items" or "products" seems to make sense, although it sure is broad! I can think of about a million things that come under that category!
I think the idea is 'culinary items' or 'culinary products'. They're probably talking about the sort of things you use in cooking, like flour, baking powder, breadcrumbs, etc, etc.
It seems a bit odd to talk about the culinary market but there are examples on google - it also seems a bit odd in Portuguese... but that kind of thing happens all the time...
I also thought that was weird, but frankly, I think that is just bad Portuguese. I mean, they are talking about market segments and some of the words, like Lácteos for e.g, encompass an awful lot of stuff. I would imagine Culinários would encompass...

True...however, I'm still puzzled by this. It's a major food company, and it never occurred to me that a food company would be involved in the "culinary arts." I mean, what do they do, offer cooking classes?
well, culinary means of or relating to a kitchen or to cookery, so I'd say it encompasses more than just cooking...

What threw me off was the fact that it was in the plural.

Culinary is an adjective...I need a noun. Now that I know this isn't some weird thing (I was thinking it might be some kind of prepared food or something - you never know), couldn't it just be "cooking?"
