FSSAI has been established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSSAI Act) which is a consolidating statute related to food safety and regulation in India. It ensures the food products undergo quality checks thereby curtailing the food adulteration and sale of sub-standard products. It is responsible for the registering and licensing of the Food Business Operators (FBO) in India and it lays down the rules and regulations for running the food business in India.
| Food License or FSSAI was Introduce to achieve three objectives: |
Every type of business that deals in food products requires FSSAI Registration or License as per the requirement such as Dhaba, Restaurants, canteen, club, wholesaler, retailer, distributor, supplier, Storage, transporter, hawker, marketer, food processor, etc.
FSSAI Registration is different from FSSAI License in the sense that depending on the size and nature of the business, FBO should obtain the necessary registration or license.
It is a 14-digit registration or a license number that is printed on all the food packages. The 14 digit registration number gives details about the assembling state, producer's permit. This registration procedure is aimed to create more accountability on the FBO to maintain the quality of the food products. The licensing and registration procedure and requirements are regulated by Food Safety & Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Business) Regulations, 2011.
