The comma before "and" in a list of three or more items is called the Oxford comma (or serial comma). Its primary use is to separate the second-to-last item from the final item in a series. This helps to prevent ambiguity, ensuring clarity that each item in the list is distinct. For example, it clarifies that "1 bunch of bananas" and "a pack of Soya milk" are two separate items.
