The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the apex body governing food safety and regulations in India. Obtaining an FSSAI license is mandatory for any entity involved in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage, transportation, distribution, sale, import, or export of food products. The FSSAI license ensures that food businesses comply with the standards and regulations set by the authority to guarantee the safety and quality of food consumed by the public.
The FSSAI license is categorized into three types: Basic Registration, State License, and Central License. Each type of license corresponds to the scale of operation and turnover of the food business. Basic Registration is suitable for small-scale food businesses with an annual turnover below a certain threshold. State License is required for medium-sized businesses operating within a single state, while Central License is mandatory for large-scale operations, including those that extend beyond state boundaries or involve import/export activities.
The process of obtaining an FSSAI license involves various steps, including application submission, document verification, inspection of premises, and compliance assessment. Once granted, the license is valid for a specified period and requires renewal upon expiry to ensure continued compliance with regulatory standards.
