To answer your question, no they cant. Once you put your food in a package, jar or bag for sale you are now a manufacturer and subject to an entirely different set of rules that are not just governed by the health dept but also the FDA and possibly the USDA depending upon what you are making. Your liscensing, insurance and inspections are now different and the equipment you are allowed to use is now in a different realm.
The reason that these places that sell premade meals is allowed to do what they do is they operate as a catering facility or as a grocery type outlet not as a manufacturing facility.
