Which code does this activity belong in?
Dairy Product (except Dried or Canned) Merchant Wholesalers covers merchant wholesalers distributing fresh dairy products such as fluid milk, butter, cheese, cream, yogurt, and ice cream. The key distinction is the exclusion of dried or canned dairy products, which fall under Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers. Establishments focused on distributing multiple food categories including dairy are classified in General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers, not this specialized dairy code.
