FSSAI registration PDF...............pdf

FSSAI, which stands for the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, is a regulatory body established under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to ensure the safety and quality of food products in India. Formed under the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006, FSSAI is responsible for overseeing and regulating the entire food chain, from manufacturing to storage, distribution, sale, and import. It sets safety and hygiene standards that all Food Business Operators (FBOs) must comply with to ensure consumer protection.

FBOs are required to display their 14-digit FSSAI license or registration number on all food packaging to demonstrate compliance with these standards. This number signifies that the food product has met the regulatory requirements set by the FSSAI, ensuring quality and safety for consumers.

The licensing and registration of FBOs are governed by the Food Safety & Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Business) Regulations, 2011. The type of license an FBO needs depends on the size and nature of the food business, with licenses being valid for one to five years. To maintain compliance, FBOs must apply for license renewal at least 30 days before their current license expires. This requirement ensures continuous adherence to the established food safety standards.
