Which code does this activity belong in?
Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing covers establishments that produce ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat foods requiring refrigeration, such as salads, sandwiches, prepared meals, fresh pizza, and fresh pasta. The distinction from All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing lies in the perishability and prepared nature of the final product; establishments manufacturing shelf-stable prepared foods, dessert puddings, cake frostings, and gelatin preparations are classified in All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing instead.
