Overview
FSSAI License is a mandatory registration or license required for every food business operator in India. It is issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Any person or entity involved in manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage, distribution, transportation, import, export, or sale of food products must obtain FSSAI registration or license before commencing operations.
FSSAI License is categorised into three types based on turnover and scale of operations. Basic Registration is for small food businesses with turnover up to Rs 12 lakhs per annum. State License is required for medium sized businesses with turnover between Rs 12 lakhs and Rs 20 crores. Central License is mandatory for large food businesses, importers, exporters, and companies operating in multiple states. Choosing the correct category is essential to avoid rejection or penalty.
The license ensures that food businesses follow hygiene standards, quality control measures, proper labelling, and food safety management practices as prescribed by FSSAI regulations. The 14 digit FSSAI license number must be printed on food packages, menus, invoices, and promotional materials. Authorities may conduct inspections to verify compliance. Non compliance may result in suspension, cancellation, heavy penalties, or even imprisonment in serious cases.
