​What is an FSSAI Registration?​

FSSAI stands for Food Safety and Standards Authority of India which is an organization that monitors and governs the food business in India. It ensures the food products undergo quality checks thereby curtailing the food adulteration and sale of sub-standard products.​
It is responsible for the registering and licensing of the food business operators (FBO) in India and it lays down the rules and regulation for running the food business in India.

​Who Should Obtain FSSAI Registration?

​Every food business operator involved in the manufacturing, processing, storage distribution and sale of food products must compulsorily obtain FSSAI Registration or License. FSSAI Registration is different from FSSAI License in the sense that depending on the size and nature of the business, FBO should obtain the necessary registration or license.
It is a 14-digit registration or a license number which is printed on all the food packages. This registration procedure is aimed to create more accountability on the FBO to maintain the quality of the food products.

Business entities can obtain the food license by applying through the FSSAI Food Licensing and Registration System. The food license can be obtained under various categories listed below:

1. FSSAI State License: Small & medium business entities like food manufacturers, transporters, marketers, retailer sand food processing units must obtain food license from the state government.
