Processed Food Registration

Fees depend on the size of facility (for warehousing) or number of employees (for manufacturing, repacking, labeling, or salvaging processed foods). See the application for details.

1. Application (including check for fees) is received by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) mailroom and delivered to the FDB via the MS Code or P.O. Box listed on the envelope.
2. After the FDB receives the envelope containing the application and fees, it is given to the Cashiering Desk (CD) to log and then sent to the CDPH Accounting office for the check to be deposited.
3. FDB CD gets the receipt back from CDPH Accounting stating it was deposited and the application is then forwarded to the FDB Licensing Desk (LD).
4. FDB LD receives the application from FDB CD and starts screening it for completeness.
   1. If an application is deemed complete, it will be entered into the Program’s system and sent to the FDB Inspection team.
5. The inspection team receives the application, and it is screened for operational details and placed in the queue to be assigned to an inspector.
6. An inspector contacts the firm for a pre-registration “new license inspection.”
   1. The firm must tell the inspector if it’s ready for inspection (i.e., not undergoing construction, equipment set up, not undergoing a city/county plan check, or lacking required HACCP documentation when applicable, etc.).
   2. Inspection schedules are based on the priorities and workload of the assigned Food Safety Inspector.
7. Once an inspection is completed, the District Office Supervisor reviews the reports and findings, and sends a disposition to the Licensing Desk.
8. The Licensing Desk will generate the license, if the disposition is to issue the license, and mail out to the firm to the address provided on the application.
