Walmart 5.0 change: Diet Type values updated or removed

Applies to: MP_ITEM, MP_MAINTENANCE

What causes this error

In the 4.x→5.0 migration, dietType's acceptable-value mapping changed and some prior values are no longer accepted. Food and grocery feeds that validated under 4.x get rejected on these values after migration.

How to fix it

Option A: fix it manually

  1. Pull the current dietType accepted values from the 5.0 spec for your product type.
  2. Map each old value to its 5.0 equivalent; drop values that were removed.
  3. Confirm multi-select formatting matches the spec delimiter.
  4. Re-upload with remapped values.

Option B: fix it automatically

This issue can be detected and prepared for automatic repair by the Walmart fixer.
