One of the defining characteristics of FMCG is that the products are expendable. A good rule of thumb here is, that if a product is not designed to last for more than 3 years, it can be classified as expendable – and therefore the product is a form of FMCG. That means that many of the wares in your local supermarket for example bread, fruits and dairy products, falls under the category of FMCG.
