Overview, Checklist & Deliverables

FSSAI registration is mandatory for anyone involved in the food business. Be it food processing, food manufacturing, packaging, distributing, or selling, you need to get an FSSAI registration to run your business.
The registration/license is issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), an institution that monitors food businesses under the guidelines and regulations listed in the FSSAI Act 2006.

Who Is Required to Register with the FSSAI?

From hawkers, home vendors to giant food chains everyone operating in the food industry needs to register with FSSAI. Irrespective of whether you are operating online or offline, or whether you are a local player or into the import or export of food products, you need to register with FSSAI. Based on their size and the places they operate, they have to get one of the 3 types of registration/license that are discussed below.

If your business falls in any one of the below-listed categories, then a food license is mandatory for you:
 Procurement
 Manufacture
 Distribution
 Processing
 Packaging
 Storage
 Selling
 In other words, an individual or a company that operates with food substances from farm to plate must obtain the FSSAI food license.

Penalty for Not Registering

A food business operator (FBO) who runs their business without registering under FSSAI may face imprisonment and an FSSAI license penalty of up to ₹5 lakhs for the same.

Types of FSSAI Licence in India

According to the FSSAI Act, 2006 all food businesses are required to be registered/licenced under the following 3 categories:
FSSAI Registration - Basic
It is the primary kind of registration issued for businesses that are small in turnover – up to ₹12 lakhs approximately per annual.
Catering businesses irrespective of their turnover have to apply for a state licence and not a basic FSSAI registration.

FSSAI State License
Companies that have a profit greater than ₹12 lakhs require a state license.

FSSAI Central License
The central registration is for bigger businesses that have a turnover of over ₹20 crores per annum.
