The primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for a broad range of manufactured snack foods is 2096.
This specific four-digit code, officially known as "Potato Chips, Corn Chips, and Similar Snacks", is used to categorize establishments primarily engaged in producing these popular savory items. SIC codes are a fundamental system used for classifying industries, enabling the collection, analysis, and publication of statistical data related to various economic activities.
