Following are some of the foods that should not be eaten during Shradh:

Onion and Garlic
In Ayurveda, garlic is considered rajasic and onion is tamasic. Since they can generate heat in the body, these two vegetables should be kept out of reach and not used in any ritual.

Consumption of non-vegetarian food is strictly prohibited in any Hindu ritual. Similarly, eating meat or any non-vegetarian food is not allowed during Shradh.
