I think you did a good job finding natural subjects, and putting them in a "natural environment" to take your photo. That shows a good eye.
I do think though, that the only official secondary colors are the Carrots and the beans and celery. The tea tag looks more of a pinkish color to me. A secondary color is created by mixing equal amounts of 2 primary colors. Mixing red/blue would actually make a darker purple.
Your photo still meets the challenge, but with this explaination, I find the tea tag to be a bit of a distraction.
Setting that aside though I think that this is well set up, and well taken.
The focus and clarity are good, and on a shiny subject, you did an excellent job with getting texture and detail.
The background looks like a paper towel to me. I think that the texture/pattern on the background is a bit of a distraction. I wonder if this might look better with just a plain, smoothe background. Maybe even just a piece of white poster board.
The lighting is good. I think that is the main reason for the good detail in the veggies. There are no blown out areas and no overly distracting shadows.
I like how you have the food bowl to the left, and the tea to the right, however, I wonder if you could find a true purple object to replace the pinkish one. Different tea label maybe?

Looks a little to slimy for my liking.... perhaps try natural lighting next time instead of flash......

The focus here is so terrific, I could almost pick up one of the beans or carrots! The only detraction for me is the glass "whatever-that-is" on the right side. I love the lighting, too.
