FSSAI Registration

Under the regulations stipulated in the FSSAI Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses Regulation, 2011, every Food Business Operator (FBO) is mandated to obtain a food business operator license. According to the provisions of the FSSAI Food Business Regulation Act, individuals classified as petty food manufacturers are exempted from the requirement of FSSAI registration. A petty food manufacturer refers to any person who personally manufactures or sells any food item, or operates as a petty retailer, hawker, itinerant vendor, or temporary stall holder. Such individuals may also distribute food at religious or social gatherings, excluding caterers. For all other individuals intending to commence a food business, obtaining an FSSAI registration is obligatory before initiating operations.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the government agency tasked with overseeing and regulating food safety standards in India.

FSSAI registration is compulsory for all food businesses operating in India, including manufacturers, processors, traders, restaurants, and caterers.

Registering with FSSAI ensures that food businesses adhere to stringent food safety regulations and standards, safeguarding consumers from potential health hazards.

FSSAI registration signifies a commitment to providing safe and high-quality food products, thereby building trust and credibility with consumers.

FSSAI registration facilitates market expansion by enabling access to new customers, suppliers, and markets.
