Every food business in India — from a home kitchen or tea stall to a restaurant chain or manufacturer — must have FSSAI registration or a license before starting operations. Operating without one can attract penalties up to ₹5 lakh and business closure. The 14-digit FSSAI number must also be printed on labels, menus and bills.
We identify the correct category for your business — Basic Registration (turnover under ₹12 lakh), State License or Central License — prepare your documents, file the application on FoSCoS and follow up until your license is issued. We also handle renewals and modifications.
