× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

Frozen Food Locker Facilities

Frozen Food Lockers are food storage units held at a temperature less than 5ºF, and where the individual units do not exceed 25 cubic feet of space. The locker space is leased to private parties for the storage of food items for their own personal use.  This license does not apply to a business that commercially warehouses food products for themselves or on behalf of others.

Frozen Food locker facilities must obtain a Frozen Food Locker Plant License from the Department, which will be valid for two years.  To apply for a license, the Frozen Food Locker Plant License Application with applicable fees must be submitted for all facilities that meet the above criteria.

A frozen food storage facility that is a sub-let to other businesses and also uses the facility for storage and distribution of its own products would need to obtain a Processed Food Registration for their business. Businesses that fall under this category must also complete a PFR application and submit it to the Department with appropriate fees.
