Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs an FSSAI license?
Every Food Business Operator (FBO), including manufacturers, traders, restaurant owners, and even small home-based kitchens, is required to have an FSSAI license or registration. The type of license (Basic, State, or Central) depends on the size and nature of the business.
What is the difference between FSSAI registration and license?
FSSAI Registration is for petty food businesses with a turnover of up to ₹12 lakhs per year. An FSSAI License (State or Central) is for businesses with a turnover exceeding ₹12 lakhs. The license involves more compliance requirements compared to the basic registration.
How long is the FSSAI license valid?
An FSSAI license can be obtained for a period of 1 to 5 years. You must apply for renewal at least 30 days before the expiry of your current license to avoid penalties.
Can I use one FSSAI license for multiple outlets?
No, each location requires a separate FSSAI license. However, if you have multiple outlets within the same city, you might be able to manage them under a single State license, but each premise needs to be declared. For outlets in multiple states, a Central license for the head office and separate licenses for each location are required.
What happens if I operate a food business without an FSSAI license?
Operating a food business without a valid FSSAI license is a punishable offense. Penalties can include fines up to ₹5 lakhs and imprisonment, depending on the severity of the non-compliance.
