What is FSSAI Food License?

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) serves as the legal entity responsible for issuing food licenses to all food business operators (FBOs) across India. Compliance with FSSAI regulations is mandatory for all FBOs to uphold food quality standards.

FBOs must obtain either an FSSAI License or Registration, determined by factors such as production scale, business management nature, and operational scope. During the FSSAI Registration process, an FBO receives a unique 14-digit number to be displayed on food packaging.
