According to the USDA, the five food groups are:

  1. Fruits
  2. Vegetables
  3. Grains
  4. Dairy
  5. Protein (which includes meat and other protein sources)

From your list, the following are considered one of the five food groups:

  • Dairy
  • Grains
  • Vegetables
  • Proteins (considering it as including meat)
  • Fruits

"Milk" and "Wheat" are not classified as separate food groups on their own; "Milk" falls under Dairy, and "Wheat" is a type of grain.
