Overview
What is FSSAI Registration / Food Licence?
Under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, every food business operator in India needs either an FSSAI basic registration or a licence. Small businesses with turnover up to ₹12 lakh generally need basic registration, mid-sized businesses need a state licence, and large operations, importers and certain other categories need a central licence.
Our experts assess your business to identify the correct category, prepare the application on the FSSAI portal and follow up until the authority issues the registration or licence. You receive a 14-digit FSSAI number that must be displayed on your premises and packaging.
