Shop & Establishment Act Registration

Shop & Establishment Act Registration is a mandatory requirement for every food business operator in India, from home bakers and cloud kitchens to large manufacturers and importers. The FSSAI registration or license demonstrates that your food handling, packaging, and labelling meet the standards laid down under the Food Safety and Standards Act.

If you are scaling a food business — adding SKUs, opening a new state, or onboarding a co-packer — the license has to be updated in lockstep. We handle the product approvals, the endorsement of new premises, and the FSSAI logo integration on every pack design.

We coordinate product approvals, label compliance, and recall planning for businesses scaling across states and online marketplaces.

• Dairy units, meat processors, and beverage manufacturers requiring state or central license
• E-commerce sellers and aggregators selling food on platforms like Swiggy and Amazon
• Storage, cold-chain, and warehouse operators handling food products
