Wondering how to apply for an FSSAI license? Read on to know more about FSSAI Registration.

What Is An FSSAI License?

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is a governmental regulatory authority, responsible for monitoring food product safety throughout the manufacturing, processing, handling, and storage processes in India. It ensures that all FBOs (food business operators) comply with the safe practises listed under the FSSAI guidelines and regulations of the 2006 Food Safety and Standards Act. They can conduct unexpected inspections to verify the hygiene and quality upheld by the food establishments at any point. All FBOs interested in taking customer orders from food delivery apps must get an FSSAI food license; otherwise, their business won’t be listed in Swiggy, Zomato, UberEats, etc.
