Depends on how broad your definition of "food" is, I guess. Either Smarties or M&M's (maybe both) are coated with carnuba wax. It's one of the reasons they melt in the mouth and not in the hand.
hese waxes, which include paraffin wax and petrolatum, are used primarily in paper manufacturing;
Waxes help to protect plants by preventing water loss and providing a barrier against pests and pathogens. In animals, waxes can help with waterproofing and insulation. Additionally, waxes are used in various products such as cosmetics, polishes, and candles.
Food technology is a process in which food production process are used to make food. An example of food technology is the different scientific experiments used to prevent food spoilage.
Phosphoic acid is used in phosphate fertilizers, agricultural feeds, waxes, polishes, soaps, and detergents.

Ethylene glycol and glycerol are commonly used as alcohols in waxes. Triacontanol is not typically used in waxes but is used as a plant growth stimulant.
There are several chemically distinct forms of wax:-- Paraffin wax consists of hydrocarbon chains of typically 30 or more carbon atoms. These are burned for fuel or light, as in candles.-- Many natural waxes are esters of long-chain alcohols. Some esters of glycerin with long-chain fatty acids could also be considered waxes. High-quality waxes are produced by bees and some whales. Carnauba wax from the tropical palm Copernicia prunifera is prized for shining automobiles. It is a mixture of mono esters and diesters.-- Industrial and household waxes are usually plastics synthesized from petroleum. Floor wax is an emulsion of poly(acrylate) esters in water. When the water evaporates, the plastic "coacervates" into a dense form which is not water-soluble. Similar food-grade emulsions are used to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables.-- Chlorinated paraffin waxes were used in the 20th century to make waterproof cloth, as in army tents. Chlorinated waxes have also been used to protect cardboard packaging against tropical rot, but this is unfortunate, as it is difficult to dispose of the chlorinated waxes without causing pollution problems.
it can be used in construction for example building foundations and driveways or in food for example making candy,ice cream and baked goods.
The role of wax is to provide energy to the body. It is also used as a form of insulation.

Food: In restaurants Example = Eggs, burgers,etc. Electronics: Store/online bought Example = T.V, Xbox, etc. Mostly styrofoam is used for packaging items (bicycle helmets) and food (hot dogs).
