What is FSSAI Registration?
FSSAI Registration is a mandatory legal requirement for all food-related businesses operating in India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. It is issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to ensure that food products manufactured, stored, distributed, or sold meet prescribed safety and hygiene standards.
Whether you run a small home-based food business, a restaurant, a manufacturing unit, or an online food delivery service, obtaining FSSAI registration is essential. It not only ensures regulatory compliance but also enhances consumer trust, improves brand credibility, and allows businesses to operate smoothly without legal risks.
Types of FSSAI Registration
FSSAI registration is categorized based on the size, turnover, and nature of the food business. Choosing the correct type is essential for compliance.
