What is FSSAI Registration?
FSSAI Registration is a compulsory authorization for individuals or entities involved in the manufacturing, processing, storage, distribution, or sale of food products in India. It is governed by the Food Safety & Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Business) Regulations, 2011.
FSSAI stands for the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, FSSAI governs the food business in India, ensuring that food products meet quality standards and undergo safety checks.
Every FSSAI Registration Certificate comes with a 14-digit registration number that must be displayed on all food packages, providing vital information about the food product's origin and ensuring accountability for quality and safety.
