If the product is mailed directly to FL by the retailer, the product is not taxable in PA due to interstate commerce laws. The product is taxable in FL. Either the retailer will charge sales tax if they have nexus in FL or the consumer would be responsible to self assess use tax in FL.
I think its fair to generalize that in most states with a broad based sales tax, food is NOT taxable. However, meals are! When food becomes a meal is tricky. Many places, 1 of something, say a donut, is taxable as a meal. 6 or more of that same thing is not taxable as food. It can be situaational too. A prepared sandwich at a grocer may be a food, but at the local sandwich shop, it's a meal.
Clearly, Pennsylvania. With cheesesteaks from Philly and Primanti's and others from Pittsburgh, along with the natural geography of these two great cities sandwiching the rest of the state in between, PA is a natural "Sandwich State."
