Which code does this activity belong in?
Creamery Butter Manufacturing covers establishments that transform milk and processed milk products into butter through churning and separation processes. This code is distinct from Fluid Milk Manufacturing, which produces liquid milk and cream products rather than butter. Cheese Manufacturing, though also using milk as a raw material, produces cheese rather than butter. Dry, Condensed, and Evaporated Dairy Product Manufacturing covers milk that has been processed into shelf-stable powder or concentrated forms, not churned into butter.
