Establishments in this class receive raw fruits and vegetables, then process them through washing, cutting, cooking, acidification, and sealing into cans, jars, or pouches for commercial sale. Operations may include producing pickled goods, tomato-based sauces, jams, jellies, canned juices, and relishes. Many facilities also engage in co-packing or private-label production for grocery retailers, food service distributors, or other manufacturers.
Questions to investigate
- What specific product categories are manufactured — tomato-based sauces, pickled goods, jams, juices, or others?
- Does the operation include any low-acid canned food (LACF) production, and is the facility FDA-registered with current process filings?
- Are any co-packing or private-label arrangements in place, and who controls the formulation and labeling process?
- What is the age and inspection status of boilers, retorts, and pressure vessels on-site?
