Amazon is charging tax in NYS though. I thought food items like this shouldn't be taxed?

While food such as fast food are enhanced, prepared, or processed for you and for your taste buds. So such food is not a necessity for life but a luxury to indulge on. So they want you to pay tax for the "luxury" as you would do for a hotel which is not a necessity to live in. So, similar logic is being used here with this enhanced snack.

Also by your definition, any processed or enhanced snack would be taxable like cookies, Cheez-Its, pudding, or sugary cereals. But they're not...NY applies the tax exemption on food pretty liberally and most are exempted as long as it's not a fruit drink, soda, candy/chocolate, or a coated nut.
