What is an FSSAI License?

An FSSAI License is a mandatory authorization required for businesses involved in the manufacture, processing, storage, distribution, or sale of food products in India.

The license is issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the regulatory body responsible for ensuring food safety and hygiene standards across the country.

Any food-related business must obtain the appropriate FSSAI registration or license before starting operations.

The license helps ensure that food products meet the required safety standards and protects consumer health.

Legal Framework Governing FSSAI Licensing

Food business operations in India are regulated under:

  • Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006

  • Regulations issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)

The FSSAI establishes standards for food manufacturing, handling, storage, packaging, and distribution.

Types of FSSAI Licenses
