Overview

What is FSSAI Registration?

FSSAI Registration is a mandatory food license issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

It authorizes food businesses to manufacture, process, store, distribute, transport, or sell food products legally in India.

Whether you operate a restaurant, cloud kitchen, food startup, food manufacturing unit, or food delivery business — FSSAI registration ensures legal compliance and builds customer trust in your brand.
