I'm expecting the following output
BANANA FRIES 12
POTATO CHIPS 60
APPLE JUICE 20
CANDY 20

However my code seems be returning incorrect value

Learn to debug. The incorrect value is the one for candy. First, reduce you input to the candy lines. Still get wrong answer? Then print the value in od within the loop after each calculation to see when and how it goes wrong.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys
import re
from collections import OrderedDict

if __name__ == '__main__':

   od = OrderedDict()
   recs = int(input())

   for _ in range(recs):
     file_input = sys.stdin.readline().strip()
     m = re.search(r"(\w.+)\s+(\d+)", file_input)

     if m:
       if m.group(1) not in od.keys():
         od[m.group(1)] = int(m.group(2))
       else:
         od[m.group(1)] += int(od.get(m.group(1),0))
   for k,v in od.items():
     print(k,v)

What's really going on here?

$ cat groceries.txt | ./groceries.py
BANANA FRIES 12
POTATO CHIPS 60
APPLE JUICE 20
CANDY 40
