@foreach (explode(',',old('recomemded_food')) as $recomemded_food) {{$recomemded_food}} @endforeach
Error Message : explode() expects parameter 2 to be string

If you pass the select values from Controller:
$recommended_foods = ["American Black Bear", "Asiatic Black Bear", "Brown Bear", "Giant Panda"];
and In the view:
<select required="required" class="form-control" name="recommended_food"> @foreach ($recommended_foods as $key => $food) <option value="{{ $food}}" {{ (old("recommended_food") == $food ? "selected":"") }}>{{ $food }}</option> @endforeach </select>
