Default Banging head against wall with VLOOKUP

I have a workbook I use to populate certain cells below a chosen item from
a data validation dropdown. It works fine until I change one of the items
in the first column of the named range that VLOOKUP looks at, then I get
unexpected results (wrong food items). If I change 1st Meat item, 2nd meat
item returns #NA in cells below it, otherwise only the changed Meat item
gets wrong items in cells below. In either case others remain uneffected.

Dropdowns are in F10 and F32
Current formulas in the 4 cells below F10:
=IF(F$10="","",VLOOKUP(F$10,Items,2))
=IF(F$10="","",VLOOKUP(F$10,Items,3))
=IF(F$10="","",VLOOKUP(F$10,Items,4))
=IF(F$10="","",VLOOKUP(F$10,Items,5))

Substitute F32 for F10 in 4 cells below F32.

'Items' refers to a table of food items on another sheet:
='Food Groups'!$A$2:$E$12

Data Validation dropdown refers to List =Meat in range:
='Food Groups'!$A$2:$A$12

If I change anything in Col1 of Items (the Meat range), that's when trouble
occurs.
If I change anything in Cols 2-5, I get expected new returns from those
cells.

Help me save my sanity.
