I can see taxing finished goods (hamburger helper) but not raw goods (apples, carrots). Is this the case in some of these states?

Yeah, kind of. I live in Minnesota and here raw ingredients, and essential food items are untaxed. Prepared foods, candy, soda and anything "non-essential" are taxed normally.

This is more or less how it works in Texas. Or at least the last time I paid attention to it I’d did. Potatoes are not taxed but chips are.
