Ensure Food Safety Compliance with Ease

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licence is a mandatory requirement for all food business operators (FBOs) in India. Whether you’re a food manufacturer, distributor, restaurant owner, online seller, or exporter, obtaining an FSSAI licence ensures your products meet the government’s safety and quality standards.

At XLegal, we help you get your FSSAI licence quickly, affordably, and without any hassle. Our experts handle the complete process — from documentation to approval — so you can focus on your business.

What is an FSSAI Licence?

An FSSAI licence is an official approval from the Government of India that confirms your business adheres to food safety standards outlined in the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006. This licence not only helps to foster consumer trust but also shields your food business from potential legal issues.

Types of FSSAI Licences

1. Basic Registration (Form A)

    a. For small businesses with annual turnover up to ₹12 lakhs.

    b. Ideal for petty food manufacturers, hawkers, and small traders.

2. State Licence (Form B)

    a. For medium businesses with turnover between ₹12 lakhs and ₹20 crores.

    b. Suitable for food units, manufacturers, and distributors operating within a single state.

3. Central Licence (Form B)

    a. For large food businesses with turnover above ₹20 crores or operating in multiple states.

    b. Mandatory for importers, exporters, and e-commerce food operators.

The process of obtaining an FSSAI license involves:

1. Application: The first step is to submit the application form along with the required documents to the FSSAI.
2. Inspection: Once the application is submitted, the FSSAI will conduct an inspection of the food business premises to ensure that the business is compliant with the FSSAI regulations.
3. Approval: After the inspection, the FSSAI will approve the application and issue the FSSAI license.
4. Renewal: FSSAI license must be renewed every year if you have taken it for one year.

It’s important to note that the above points are general guidelines, and the specific requirements for obtaining an FSSAI license may vary depending on the type of food business and the region.
