    Do not worry about finding 5 different food buffs in a single level until you get the Corruption Card: Ravenous at the beginning of a level. Ravenous forces a hunger status on the Cleaners and every 15 seconds you either take or heal 1 Trauma. To make this fair, food items are placed EVERYWHERE. It would be more impressive to finish a level and not get this achievement, somehow.

    Seriously, don't worry about it if Ravenous isn't on. For me, I went a couple levels triple-checking everything and got 4 food items at most. The third level had Ravenous on, and I picked up:

    39x Green Beans
    34x Cereal
    40x Peaches
    37x Peanut Butter
    43x Power/Protein Bars

    You can't miss it with Ravenous on.

    Ravenous can appear as early as the 1st mission on Act 5. I haven't tested it on non-DLC missions.

    a holy chainsawTook me a while to get that corruption card but once it did, it was easy!

    thatNoseyParkerI just got this "legitimately" (as in 5 spawns without ravenous modifier) on the final chapter of my No Hope run for Act 5

    Sina117Difficulty doesn't seem to affect spawn rate, so I'd recommend Recruit when going for this achievement.

    AlyssiyaDidn't unlock until i had all 5 different food buffs active at once.

    webdoggyJust got this solo veteran on act 1 the crossing and I don’t even own the DLC. I think I ended the level with 7 food buffs.

    Edgifydont know if it was pure luck but got this within a minute of starting a trial of the worm game, there was a lot of items to pick up in 1st area

    I Ebon Hawk INo one has mentioned this yet, but having the Food Scavenger card (which increases food spawns) makes this way easier. I didn't get the Ravenous corruption card to appear once during the time I played through the DLC. Just equip Food Scavenger and you should get 5 different foods easily.
