Which code does this activity belong in?
Specialty Canning covers establishments that manufacture canned prepared foods such as baby food, baked beans, soups, and ethnic dishes. The boundary with Fruit and Vegetable Canning lies in product type; Fruit and Vegetable Canning focuses on canned fruits, vegetables, juices, and tomato-based sauces, while Specialty Canning emphasizes prepared composite dishes and specialty formulations. Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing handles moisture-removal processes for fruits, vegetables, and soup mixes rather than canning.
