At LEGAL JUNCTION, we provide end-to-end legal support for FSSAI license registration, compliance, and dispute resolution, ensuring your food business operates smoothly and lawfully.

 

What Is an FSSAI License?

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, governs the safety and hygiene standards for food businesses in India. All food businesses must obtain an appropriate FSSAI license or registration, depending on the size and nature of the operation.

There are three types of FSSAI registrations:

  • Basic FSSAI Registration – For small food businesses with annual turnover below ₹12 lakh

  • State FSSAI License – For medium-sized units with turnover between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore

  • Central FSSAI License – For large-scale businesses and import/export units with turnover above ₹20 crore or operating in multiple states.
