Why Your Food Business Needs an FSSAI License

Food safety is non-negotiable in India. Whether you run a restaurant, a food processing unit, or even a home-based bakery, an FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) license is mandatory. This certification ensures that the food you sell meets safety standards, giving customers confidence in your products.

Types of FSSAI Licenses: Which One Do You Need?

The type of license depends on your business size and turnover:

1. Basic FSSAI Registration

  • For small businesses with an annual turnover of up to ₹12 lakh.
  • Ideal for home bakers, small retailers, and petty food vendors.

2. State FSSAI License

  • Required for businesses with an annual turnover between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore.
  • Applies to medium-scale manufacturers, food chains, and processing units.

3. Central FSSAI License

  • Mandatory for businesses with a turnover exceeding ₹20 crore.
  • Needed for import/export businesses, large-scale manufacturers, and e-commerce food platforms.

Step-by-Step Process to Get an FSSAI License

Step 1: Determine the type of license you need based on your turnover.
Step 2: Gather necessary documents such as business registration proof, ID proof, and a food safety management plan.
