Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 311421 covers establishments that manufacture canned, pickled, and brined fruits and vegetables, including canned juices, jams, jellies, and tomato-based sauces. The boundary with Specialty Canning is that 311421 focuses on basic fruit and vegetable products, while Specialty Canning (311422) covers more complex prepared foods like canned baby food, baked beans, soups, and nationality dishes. Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing (311423) applies to establishments that remove moisture from fruits, vegetables, and soup mixes rather than preserve them through canning, pickling, or brining.
