This certificate cannot be used for purchases of food products for use by the purchaser for other than the purposes set
forth above, or for purchases of food products that will be used or resold in single-serving packages without further
preparation by the purchaser prior to consumption. A reseller of food products may execute the certificate only if the
majority of the food purchased in any transaction will be resold for use by the final retail purchaser for one of the
purposes set forth above. The issuer must withdraw the certificate when these criteria are no longer met.
A seller cannot accept this certificate in lieu of the payment of the state sales and use tax by a vending machine
operator, restaurant, drive-in, snack bar, candy and nut counter, private club, or other food service facility selling
prepared food for on-premises or off-premises consumption. Neither can the certificate be accepted on sales of alco-
holic beverages, malt beverages and beer, distilled water, water in containers, or carbonated water.
