Laws vary from place to place. What nation and state/province are you asking about?

The main point of the question was to see if there are any general
laws restricting the tax on a statewide or nationwide level.

Sales taxes are rampant in the US, selected locales have exempted food
from taxation, some offer rebates or or other compensation on food
taxes.

Does this page help?

just what i needed thanks!!!

I am quite certain that there isn't any federal law banning sales
taxes on food. Regarding Colorado, since some towns in Colorado offer
a rebate on sales taxes on food (to those who meet certain income
guidelines), I presume that such taxes are legal:
