Which code does this activity belong in?
Packaged frozen food merchant wholesalers distribute frozen foods that have been processed and packaged, excluding only frozen dairy products which are classified in Dairy Product Merchant Wholesalers. The key distinction from related codes is the requirement that products be both frozen and packaged; fresh produce goes to Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers, while unfrozen packaged confectionery belongs in Confectionery Merchant Wholesalers. Frozen dairy products represent the sole exception to this code's scope.
