Every food business operator involved in the manufacturing, processing, storage distribution and sale of food products must compulsorily obtain FSSAI Registration or License.
FSSAI Registration is different from the 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.
According to Section 31(1) Food Safety and standard Authority of India states that FSSAI License and Registration is mandatory for food business in India, which manufactures, stores, transports or distributes food.
A food business that has an annual turnover up to Rs. 12 Lakhs, then a basic FSSAI Registration is needed.
Where the annual turnover up to Rs. 20 crores and operates in one state then a State FSSAI License is needed.
Where an annual turnover of more than 20 crores and operates in multiple states, a Central FSSAI license is needed.
An application form is sent to the Licensing Authority along with registration fees and payment could be made online as well. Once a FSSAI number is allotted or given, this could be printed on food package manufactured or processed by the business.
