    FSSAI Registration

    Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI in short) is a body established by the Government of India which regulates the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale, and import to ensure the availability of safe and healthy food for human consumption. FSSAI is responsible for registering and licensing the Food Business Operators (FBO) across the country and also governs the rules and regulations for running any food-related business in India.

    Every person willing to undertake food-related business has to obtain registration or license for carrying out food-related business such as setting up of hotels, restaurants, cloud kitchens, bars, catering business, etc. It is a 14-digit registration or a license number that is printed on all the food packages or products. FSSAI registration or license can be acquired for a period ranging anywhere from 1 year to 5 years and thereafter has to be renewed periodically.

    Advantages Of FSSAI Registration

    • Avoid non-compliance

      As per Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, any person shall not commence or carry on any food business without a valid registration or license. Therefore, all food-related business providers have to obtain FSSAI registration mandatorily as per law. In case of non-compliance, the business operator may have to pay heavy penalty.

    • Increase Customer Confidence

      FSSAI Registration ensures the food products offered by owners are of specific standard, nature, and quality. Therefore, having FSSAI registration number and FSSAI logo on the product, increases confidence among the customer that the food product they are consuming is safe and is of good quality.

    • Helpful in increasing sales of the business

      Being an FSSAI registered entity, it would be slightly easier for a business to collaborate with any supplier, distributor,  traders, selling agent etc. Business to Business (B2B) channel partners always prefer FSSAI registered products over unregistered products. Thus, FSSAI helps to increase sales and overall growth of the business.
