FAQ
What work fits NAICS 311942?

- Produce food-grade liquid extracts and flavor concentrates (for example vanilla or citrus extracts) formulated to defined concentrations and solvent specifications.
- Drying, grinding, and milling botanical raw materials into specified particle size distributions and packaging in retail or bulk containers with tamper-evident seals.

- Wholesale distribution of raw herbs and spices without processing: missing blending, grinding, extract production, and packaged food-grade final products.
