It gives a broad overview of the subject without going into details. It does not use any pronouns or definite articles that would need prior context. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'Food product' which is not independent because it refers back to the topic. Paragraph 3 starts with 'In other media' which is not independent because it assumes knowledge of previous information. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Food manufactures' which is not independent because it refers to a specific group without prior context.
