consumo comedor trad.

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) PAY SLIPS -- Monthly summary

I am translating some Mexican pay stubs into English.
only item I can't figure out is this:

"consumo comedor trad."
(Its key no. is "2903", if that helps").

My supervisor is fluent in Spanish (although Colombian), but has no idea what this actually means.

Please help!
Thank you.

Marie Wilson May 1, 2018: Well if you find out what it means, please let us know, and good luck!
anders1956 (asker) May 1, 2018: BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD! I see that I was wrong to accept "trabajadores", since IT DOES HAVE "trad.". Since it is a series of standard printed form (57 pages!!), it could not be a simple one-off misspelling. Will probably go with "Trad. cafeteria" or "Trad. canteen" and hope for the best. But, THANK YOU for the hint about "Palabrasque.com": I was NOT AWARE of that!! REA, Chicago, IL, USA
Marie Wilson May 1, 2018: MalincheMx The point here is that it could be a typo. A lot of Kudoz questions that cannot be solved have typos, it happens all the time. If "trad" meant something, surely an example could be found on Google.
Margit Schlosser May 1, 2018: well, that is completely wrong. because it reads "trad." not "trab."
anders1956 (asker) May 1, 2018: TRABAJADORES I have ACCEPTED Marie Wilson's "TRABAJADORES", but THANK YOU for responding. REA / Chicago, USA
anders1956 (asker) May 1, 2018: COMEDOR DE LOS TRABAJADORES TRABAJADORES IS PERFECT! (I just posted my response a second ago, but I incorrectly stated that I accepted the other alternative). REA / Chicago, USA
philgoddard May 1, 2018: Yes, that's possible.
Marie Wilson May 1, 2018: It doesn't make sense to me. Any chance it could be typo for "comedor trab", as in "comedor de los trabajadores"?
philgoddard Apr 30, 2018: Most or all of the words beginning with "trad" appear to be variations on "traducir" or "tradición". http://www.palabrasque.com/buscador.php?i=trad&f=&tv=4&butto...
