What is FSSAI?
In order to run a food Business in India, it is first of all important to get a food license.
A food license is a certificate of safety in regard to consumption and its effects on the health of humans.
This certificate is issued in India by FSSAI which stands for food safety and standards authority of India.
FSSAI is established by the Indian Government under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
FSSAI looks after every aspect of food production and selling, right from manufacturing, storage & distribution to sale and import.
Each State in India has its own State food safety and standards organization, empowered by the Central.
Every FSSAI Registration & State FSSAI license is issued by State FSSAI which grants a Business permission to sell food products.
The FSSAI License is a 14-digit no. that needs to be printed on all food packages by any Business registered with FSSAI, failing to do so will lead the company to pay heavy fines.
3 types of Licenses based on the turnover of the company are given by FSSAI. They are :
- Businesses with turnover of Rs.12 lacs.
- Businesses with turnover between Rs.12 lacs to Rs.2 crores.
- Businesses with a turnover exceeding Rs.2 crores.
