The low-acid food processor and acidified food processor activity types should both be selected
if the facility manufactures acidified foods subject to the requirements in 21 CFR parts 108 and
114, as well as thermally processed low-acid foods packaged in hermetically sealed containers
that are subject to the requirements of 21 CFR parts 108 and 113. For example, a facility that
processes a thermally processed low-acid food such as green beans in water in a can and an
acidified food such as pearl onions in brine in a glass jar would select both the low-acid food
processor and acidified food processor activity types on the food facility registration form. The
facility is engaging in both acidified food and low-acid food processing.
