Operating an F&B business without a valid FSSAI licence is a criminal offence. It can lead to seizure of stock, fines up to ₹10 lakh, imprisonment, and immediate shutdown. A current FSSAI number is also required on every food label and for listings on Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon, and Flipkart.
Basic FSSAI registration, FSSAI logo on menu, and renewals before the 1- or 5-year expiry.
State or Central FSSAI licence, product approval, and labelling compliance with FSSAI norms.
Central FSSAI licence, CHA clearance at port, and product-by-product approval.
State licence, cold-chain compliance, and periodic self-audits of storage conditions.
Applying for a new FSSAI licence for a restaurant or food brand, renewing an existing licence before expiry, changing the business address or owner, adding new food categories, labelling a new SKU, responding to a food safety officer inspection, or settling a show-cause notice for an FBO.
FSSAI moved to a 5-year licence cycle to reduce renewal friction, but late renewal still attracts a daily penalty. Product approvals for novel ingredients, health supplements, and proprietary foods have separate application processes and timelines. Always check the latest FSSAI notifications before launching a new product.
We determine the right FSSAI tier for your business, prepare the application with all required documents (Blueprint, NOC, water test report, etc.), coordinate with food safety officers, and manage renewals before expiry. For manufacturers, we also handle product approval and label review.
