FSSAI License

FSSAI License Registration – State & Central

If you are involved in any food-related business—whether manufacturing, trading, storing, transporting, or distributing—obtaining an FSSAI license is mandatory under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Depending on the nature and scale of your operations, you will need to apply for either an FSSAI State License or a Central License.

At IndiaFills.com, we simplify the FSSAI license application process with complete guidance, fast document handling, and full regulatory compliance.

✅ What is an FSSAI License?

An FSSAI License is a government-issued authorization that allows Food Business Operators (FBOs) to operate legally while complying with food safety standards. It is different from FSSAI Registration, which is intended for smaller businesses.

🔍 Who Needs an FSSAI License?

The FSSAI License is mandatory for businesses involved in:

• Food manufacturing or processing
• Packaging or repackaging
• Distribution or transport
• Storage or warehousing
• Import or export of food items
• Online food platforms (e.g., Swiggy, Zomato sellers)

Whether you operate as an individual or a company, obtaining an appropriate FSSAI License is essential.
