The FSSAI Registration (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India Registration) is a mandatory license for all food-related businesses operating in India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
This registration ensures that food products are safe for human consumption and meet prescribed quality standards. Every food business operator (FBO) — from small vendors to large manufacturers — must obtain an FSSAI registration or license before commencing operations.
FSSAI registration is essential to demonstrate your business’s commitment to food safety and consumer health. It enhances your brand reputation and is a prerequisite for supply to e-commerce platforms, retail chains, and government tenders. Operating a food business without a valid FSSAI license can lead to severe penalties, product confiscation, or even closure of operations.
