Any food business in India must have an FSSAI licence or food licence. A foodservice licence must be renewed when its validity period of one to five years has passed, otherwise it will be subject to a fine. 120 days before the FSSAI registration or licence expires, the renewal process can be finished.
The Department of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of India established the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), an independent body. The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006—a consolidation of Indian law and food safety—led to the establishment of the FSSAI. The FSSAI is in charge of regulating and overseeing food safety in order to safeguard and advance public health.
The Non-Executive Chairperson of the FSSAI is chosen by the Central Government or someone who currently holds a non-Secretariat position in the Government of India. FSSAI's Chief Executive Officer is Shri Arun Singhal, while the organization's current Chairperson is Rita Teaotia.
FSSAI Registration is mandatory for any food business operating in India, including manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers.
Documents are grouped the way FSSAI reviews them — business documents, food safety documents, and operational details.
Each stage is a real, sequential step through the FSSAI Registration process under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
