FSSAI Registration

FSSAI Registration (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is essential for anyone involved in the food business, including manufacturers, traders, restaurants, grocery stores, caterers, and even online food sellers. One of the primary reasons to choose FSSAI registration is to ensure legal compliance under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. It is mandatory for all food-related businesses in India to obtain this license to operate legally.

FSSAI registration builds consumer trust and confidence, as it signifies that the food being produced or sold meets safety and quality standards set by the authority. A valid FSSAI license on food packaging or premises assures customers that the food is safe for consumption and handled in hygienic conditions. This not only enhances brand reputation but also creates a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
