When you are talking about food for sale, the law includes some activities under the term "processing and handling". This term includes things like preparing the food, manufacturing it, and packing it. It also includes labelling, transporting, storing, and displaying the food, as well as serving it.
You need to think about all these activities when you hear the term "processing and handling" in relation to food for sale.
