Error when trying to add class to parent in jQuery

I have trying to add a class to parent div of my link like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
        $(".food-result").on("click", "a", function (event) {
            event.preventDefault(); 
            $(this).parent().parent().addclass('active');


            return false; 
        });

I get the error: 

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

What am I doing wrong?

it looks like you are trying to get the parent of the parent which might not exist would this work

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".food-result").on("click", "a", function (event) {
        event.preventDefault(); 
        $(this).parent().addClass('active');


        return false; 
    });

try this: 

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $(".food-result").click(function (event) {
        event.preventDefault(); 
        $(this).parent().parent().addClass('active');
        return false; // I am not sure if this is needed
    });
});
