FSSAI Registration

Understanding FSSAI Registration

If you run any kind of food business in India — whether it’s a small snack stall, café, restaurant, cloud kitchen, food factory or distributor — you must be registered under the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) system. This registration ensures your food business operates legally and builds customer trust.

Key Points:

• Mandatory for all food business operators (FBOs): manufacturing, storage, sale, supply, catering or transport of food items.

• Small businesses usually need FSSAI Basic Registration, while larger ones require a State or Central Licence depending on turnover.

• Once approved, you receive a 14-digit FSSAI number, which must be displayed at your premises and printed on packaging or invoices.

• Registration ensures food safety compliance, avoids penalties, and boosts your brand’s credibility among consumers.
