FSSAI Registration Process - Documents Required, Procedure, Fees, Penalty

FSSAI Registration is mandatory for all entrepreneurs involved in the food business. Every Food Business Operators (FBOs) must obtain a 14-digit FSSAI registration or license number if they are involved in manufacturing, processing, storage, distribution, marketing and sale of food products in India.

The registration or license number must be printed on all food packages as it provides details about the assembling state and producer’s permit. There are various benefits of obtaining an FSSAI License which we’ll discuss later on. Let’s get started by understanding the importance and requirements of FSSAI registration.

What is FSSAI?

FSSAI stands for Food Safety Standards Authority of India. It is an autonomous body established under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India that governs food business in India. The FSSAI is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSS Act).

If a person wants to start a business related to food, be it food processing or manufacturing, marketing, packaging or distribution, it has to register under FSSAI. It is mandatory to obtain a food license registration number which has to be printed on food packages or displayed in business premises during business hours. This license or registration number gives data about the producer's permit or enrollment subtle elements and the assembling state.

Importance of FSSAI Registration or License

Health is Wealth” is a common concept. In India, all food businesses have to follow certain standards and guidelines according to the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. It ensures that the food is chemically verified.

A food business is defenseless against numerous allegations of food contaminated and utilization of cheap, unsafe products. Food license shields your food business from such allegations and acts as a proof that your food is safe and healthy to consume.

After getting certified, it helps food businesses to grow. FBOs can market the license to gain trust and satisfaction of the customers. Not only customers, but it will also help in gaining investors and partners. It will make your company more reliable.

Apart from reliability and assurance, it also assures the high standard of your food product that ultimately leads to customer satisfaction. Food license is obtained right after the verification where the ingredient used in the product is chemically tested. This ensures that the manufacturing of food products is going in the right direction.
