Faq

Any individual or business involved in food processing, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, or sale of food products needs an FSSAI license. This includes restaurants, catering services, food importers, and e-commerce platforms selling food products.
Non-compliance with FSSAI regulations can lead to penalties, fines, or even imprisonment. The severity of the penalty depends on the nature of the violation. It is essential to comply with food safety regulations to protect consumer health and maintain business reputation.
The time taken to obtain an FSSAI license depends on the complexity of the application and the responsiveness of the authorities. Typically, it can take anywhere from 15 to 60 days to receive the license after submitting a complete application.
FSSAI licenses are not transferable, and a new application is required if there is a change in ownership. However, licenses can be modified to include additional product categories or extend the validity period by submitting the necessary documents and paying the applicable fees.
Small-scale food businesses, such as home-based enterprises and certain micro-entrepreneurs, may be eligible for exemption under the Cottage Food Industry or the FSSAI's Small Food Business category. However, they still need to adhere to specific guidelines and maintain hygiene standards.
The validity of an FSSAI license depends on the category of the license obtained. Generally, an FSSAI license is valid for one to five years. It is crucial to renew the license before its expiration to continue operating legally.
