If you are running any type of food-related business in India—whether small or large—applying for an FSSAI License is mandatory. This license, issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, ensures that your business complies with food safety laws and maintains hygiene across every stage of food handling. Whether you operate a cloud kitchen, café, wholesale unit, repackaging unit, transporter, storage warehouse, or manufacturing plant, applying for FSSAI registration is the first step toward legal compliance in the food industry.
The application process requires understanding which category your business falls under: FSSAI Basic Registration, FSSAI State License, or FSSAI Central License. The category depends on turnover, nature of business, and scale of operations. Before applying, you need to arrange documents such as identity proof, address proof, business constitution documents, layout plans (for manufacturers), and details of food products you intend to deal in. Once documents are ready, the application is submitted online through the FoSCoS portal.
After submission, the authorities review your application and may conduct an inspection depending on the type of license. Once approved, the FSSAI license or registration certificate is issued, allowing your business to operate legally. Holding a valid FSSAI License not only builds customer trust but also helps in brand credibility and market acceptance.
