What is FSSAI License — and Why Does Every Food Business Need It?

FSSAI stands for theFood Safety and Standards Authority of India— the central regulator for all food businesses, operating under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Under theFood Safety and Standards Act, 2006, every person or entity involved in the manufacture, processing, packaging, storing, distributing, selling, importing, or exporting of food must obtain a valid FSSAI registration or licensebefore starting operations.

Once registered, your business gets a unique14-digit FSSAI License Numberthat must be displayed on all packaging, menus, and signage. Operating without a valid FSSAI number attracts penalties up to₹5,00,000and forced business closure by food safety officers.
