Which code does this activity belong in?
Nonchocolate confectionery manufacturing encompasses establishments that produce candy, hard candies, gum, and similar sweets without chocolate as the primary ingredient. The boundary with sugar manufacturing lies in the finished product; sugar manufacturing produces raw and refined sugar as basic ingredients, while nonchocolate confectionery manufacturing transforms those ingredients into prepared confectionery items. This code also includes retail operations that make nonchocolate confectioneries on premises and sell them packaged for later consumption, distinguishing them from chocolate confectionery manufacturing, which covers chocolate-based sweets.
