Frequently asked questions

I produce packaged ready-made meat dishes for supermarkets — is that ATECO code 10.85.01?

Yes, when the dish is based on meat or poultry, cooked, packaged and labelled for resale. If the ready meal is based on fish use 10.85.02 instead, and if based on vegetables use 10.85.03.

I cook ready-made meat dishes but serve them immediately in my delicatessen — is that still 10.85.01?

No. 10.85.01 applies to packaged dishes intended for resale, not for immediate consumption. Preparing dishes served on the premises falls under food service in section 56, whereas this code covers the production of ready meals for retail shelves.

I produce cured meats and sausages, not cooked dishes — is that 10.85.01 or another meat code?

No, it is not 10.85.01. Cured meats, sausages and processed meat products follow 10.13.00. 10.85.01 covers cooked ready meals based on meat or poultry — such as a stew or a roast that is ready to reheat.

I make a ready-made meat dish with a vegetable side — is that 10.85.01 or the vegetables code?

10.85.01 when the main ingredient is meat or poultry, even if served with a vegetable side. If the dish is primarily vegetable-based you are in 10.85.03, and if pasta dominates in 10.85.05. The dominant component of the dish is what decides.
