Industry Code: 12900
This industry covers the manufacturing of pasta, such as macaroni, spaghetti and noodles, and baked goods, such as bread, muffins, bagels, etc.
Bakeries have operations which range from small local businesses to large and complex, producing thousands of pounds of baked goods per day. Smaller bakeries would be more labour intensive than the larger bakeries, where the process is completely automated and the product is not handled until packaged and palletized.
Operation Details:
The operation of a bakery includes the mixing of flour, water, yeast and other additives to produce dough for bread, pastries, buns, etc. The dough is cut and put into pans or trays, then into ovens for baking. After cooling, the items are wrapped, packaged and distributed for sale.
The equipment used includes stainless steel vats, mixing tubs, cutters, ovens, slicing machines, etc.
Larger bakeries primarily market their product on a wholesale basis and have extensive warehousing and distribution networks. Commissioned or salaried sales people will deliver to retail outlets and stock shelves with baked goods.
A pasta, or flour and water mixture, is made and when it is fairly hard or tough it is forced through a form or die that produces the desired shape. The product is baked three or four times during the process to establish the desired consistency and properties. This is an automated process and includes the packaging (plastic, cardboard boxes, etc.) and distribution of the product on a wholesale basis.
Workers may consist of process operator, equipment operator, maintenance, shipping/receiving, delivery, marketing and administrative personnel.
Underwriting Considerations:
Bakeries are primarily in business for wholesaling their own baked goods; however, they may also sell retail over the counter and may maintain a small sit-down area for on-site consumption as a supportive activity. This type of operation is correctly classified in this industry.
Doughnut shops will typically bake doughnuts from premixed dough, referred to as "bake off". In addition, they will prepare and retail other foods such as soup and sandwiches for on-site consumption or take out. These type of operations are classified in industry 87501, Restaurants and Catering.
Independent distributors which buy and sell the product from the manufacturer, and are not engaged in any manufacturing, would be classified in industry 69916, Wholesale Food Distribution.
This industry also includes the manufacturing of tortellini, fettuccini, linguini and all other types of pasta.
The businesses classified in this industry do not mill the flour; they purchase the flour.
