“At Startupbhart, we understand the significance of FSSAI License and Registration for any food business operating in India. Whether your business is involved in the manufacturing, storage, transportation, or distribution of food, compliance with FSSAI regulations is imperative. Depending on the size and nature of your food business, you may need either an FSSAI registration or a license.

In the FSSAI Registration process, your Food Business Operator (FBO) will be issued a 14-digit number, which is a mandatory requirement for printing on food packages. Obtaining an FSSAI license or registration can bring several advantages to your food business. It not only ensures legal compliance but also helps build goodwill, enhances food safety standards, creates consumer awareness, and paves the way for business expansion.

Governing Law:
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the governing body responsible for issuing food licenses to all food business operators (FBOs) in India. The legal framework for this requirement is outlined in Section 31(1) of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006, and further detailed in the Food Safety & Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Business) Regulations, 2011.

Who Requires FSSAI Registration?
FSSAI registration is necessary for a wide range of food businesses in India, including:

  • Petty retailers, Retail Shops, Snack shops, Confectionery or Bakery shops, and more.

FSSAI Registration/FSSAI License:
FSSAI registration and license categories are determined based on factors such as business type, turnover, and production capacity. FBOs may be eligible for essential, central, or state licenses depending on these factors.
