We will apply this restriction by the area, so a pile of different colored food in one Target Area will not affect the score earned from Food in other Target Areas.

As Todd noted, the Food will be loaded in random order. How do you know that? It says to do that in the Field Setup document

REFRIGERATOR AND FOOD: Refrigerator is loaded with all 8 Food inside, in random order. Door is closed. o

Rule GP5 says that the Field Setup information is just as important as the MIssions.

My reading is that you score each area separately so 20 points in the scenario you mention.

Based on an error I made in a prior year on a mission want to make sure teams noted that the pieces are placed in the refrigerator in a random order. Don't rely on a picture from the challenge that shows them in a particular order.
