Which code does this activity belong in?
Fruit and Vegetable Canning, Pickling, and Drying covers establishments that preserve fruits, vegetables, and specialty foods through canning, pickling, dehydrating, or drying processes.

Frozen Fruit and Vegetable Manufacturing covers the same product categories but preserved through freezing rather than these alternative preservation methods; the distinction turns on the preservation technique employed.
