About FSSAI Registration
FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) registration is a mandatory process for all food businesses in India to ensure food safety and quality. It involves obtaining a unique 14-digit registration or license number, which must be displayed on food packages. The registration process varies based on the size and nature of the business, categorized into Basic Registration, State License, and Central License. FSSAI registration helps maintain standards, prevents food adulteration, and promotes public health. It enhances consumer trust and enables businesses to comply with legal requirements, facilitating smoother operations and market access.
Types of FSSAI
There are three types of FSSAI which depends on the nature and size of the food business:
FSSAI Basic
FSSAI Basic is for small food businesses which are expecting a small turnover upto Rs. 12 lakhs per annum. As the name signifies, it is a basic form of FSSAI Food License. All petty and small food businesses must register themselves under FSSAI and obtain the certificate. The registration number should be shown at the business premise during business hours.
FSSAI State
FSSAI State is required by FBOs who are dealing in manufacturing, storage, transportation, retailing, marketing, distribution, etc. of food & beverages. Food businesses having annual turnover between 12 lakhs to 20 crores and having their business operations within the territory of the state are required to obtain the State Food License.
