Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 31194 covers the manufacturing of dressings, sauces, spices, seasonings, and dry mix food preparations, excluding tomato-based sauces and gravies. The key distinction is that establishments manufacturing flavoring syrups and drink concentrates intended for soda fountains or soft drink production are classified in Flavoring Syrup and Concentrate Manufacturing instead, while those mixing purchased dried ingredients for soup mixes and bouillon belong in All Other Food Manufacturing. Coffee and tea flavorings or extracts derived from coffee and tea manufacturing are also excluded from this code.
