- the production of meals not fit for immediate consumption or not planned to be consumed immediately or of prepared food, which is not considered to be a meal, see divisions 10 and 11
- the sale of not self-manufactured food that is not considered to be a meal or of meals that are not fit for immediate consumption, see section G
- coffee dispenser and vending machines selling food and drinks prepared by the machine itself, see division 47

What a NOGA code is, and how to find a company's code
Company counts cover the 145,068 of 782,904 active companies in the commercial register that Prospex has coded so far, from their registered purpose and website, so they are a floor. Geneva is 93% coded, because its cantonal register publishes a code per company; the other cantons 11% so far. They are Prospex's codes, not the code the BFS assigns in its business register (BUR). Codes, labels and notes: Swiss Federal Statistical Office (BFS), NOGA 2025, through the I14Y interoperability platform and the KUBB coding tool.
