Hello,
I work for a vending company. We have vending machines all over the state but do not have any out of state. We also have micro markets, which is essentially a convenience store inside a company. So we receive RTE seafood packaged sandwiches from a company who assembles them and then ships them to us. We store them in our warehouse for a day or two and then delivery them to our vending machines and stock them. The customer does not do anything with the vending machine.
My questions are
Is a vending company considered a retail business because we ship to our own machines and do not ship to other warehouses or convenience stores?
Do we have to follow seafood HACCP guidelines because we carry seafood product?
Everything we carry is packaged in its final form and not reassembled in any way.
