Clear answers for food business owners. If you still have doubts, submit the form above and our team will help you personally.

Any person or business involved in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage, distribution or sale of food products in India must obtain FSSAI registration or license. This includes home kitchens, cloud kitchens, restaurants, café, bakeries, food trucks, manufacturers, importers, exporters, traders and warehouses – depending on turnover and scale.

For simple Basic registration with complete documents, it may take around 5–7 working days. State and Central licenses often take longer due to additional scrutiny, inspections and approvals, and may range between 15–45 days depending on the department workload.
