Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 44529 covers retailers of packaged specialty foods such as coffee, tea, confectionery, dairy products, and baked goods that are not produced on-site and not meant for immediate consumption. The key distinction from neighbouring codes is that 44529 excludes fresh, frozen, or cured meats and poultry classified in Meat Markets; fresh, frozen, or cured fish and seafood classified in Fish and Seafood Markets; and fresh fruits and vegetables classified in Fruit and Vegetable Markets. Establishments selling these specialty foods must also prepare them off-premises rather than manufacturing them in the retail location.
