- Does the operation have refrigerated display cases, and how are they monitored for temperature failures after hours?
- Are any deliveries made using personal or company-owned vehicles?
- What allergen-sensitive products are sold, and what labeling practices are in place?
- Has there been any prior loss history involving customer illness, injury, or property damage?

Baked goods retailers under this classification sell bread, pastries, cakes, pies, cookies, and similar items that are made off-premises by a wholesale or commercial bakery and delivered for resale. The store itself does not bake or prepare the goods — it receives, displays, and sells finished product. Operations typically involve a storefront or specialty food shop, refrigerated and ambient display cases, and retail customer traffic.
