Manufacturers, warehouses, re-packers, shellfish dealers, salvage operations, grain storage facilities and industrial hemp operations must be registered. Food manufacturing and storage includes selling your food to retailers, re-packing, shellfish dealers, salvage operations, grain storage facilities and industrial hemp.
Registration is specific to the owner and location, and is not transferable or prorated. If you are manufacturing industrial hemp, please refer to our policy.
