FSSAI Registration

It is mandatory for every food business operator engaged in the manufacturing, processing, storage, distribution, and sale of food products to secure either FSSAI Registration or a License. The distinction between FSSAI Registration and FSSAI License lies in the requirement for food business operators to obtain the appropriate registration or license based on the size and nature of their operations.
