It is called a food factory when facilities for various food processing have been set up. The facilities can vary from one workshop to another, but what they all have in common is that there is a wide range of food processing equipment and tools and other facilities that the processing requires. Users receive training on the equipment and free access to the production of the products that are possible with regard to facilities and equipment and issued licenses by the health authorities.

Matís' food workshop regularly holds courses on the production and processing of various products as well as courses on internal control. The public sector is required to provide a permit before the start of the sale or distribution of foodstuffs.
