Overview of FSSAI Registration

A food business operator license is required for all Food Business Operators in the country. The rules for FSSAI Registration for Food Businesses are laid out in the FSSAI Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses Regulation, 2011. As per the FSSAI Food Business Regulation Act, only petty food manufacturers are allowed to start a food business without FSSAI registration. Petty Food Manufacturer means any food manufacturer, who (a) manufactures or sells any article of food himself or a petty retailer, hawker, itinerant vendor or temporary stall holder; or distributes foods including in any religious or social gathering except a caterer. All other persons wishing to start a food business must possess an FSSAI registration before starting the business.

Registration Process of FSSAI Registration

Determine the type of FSSAI registration: The first step is to determine the type of FSSAI registration required based on the type and size of the food business. There are three types of FSSAI registration: Basic, State, and Central.
Gather required documents: The next step is to gather all the required documents, such as identity proof, address proof, and proof of business ownership, along with a list of food products and their manufacturing or processing units.
Fill out the FSSAI application form: The food business owner or authorized signatory must fill out the FSSAI application form with all the required details, including food categories, manufacturing or processing units, and contact information.
Submit the application and fees: The completed application form and required documents must be submitted to the FSSAI along with the appropriate fees based on the type of registration.
Wait for inspection and approval: Once the application is received, the FSSAI will conduct an inspection of the food business to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and standards. If everything is in order, the FSSAI will issue the registration certificate.
Display the FSSAI logo: After obtaining the FSSAI registration, the food business can display the FSSAI logo on their products, which indicates that they have obtained the necessary license and are committed to providing safe and high-quality food products to consumers.
