FSSAI Registration / License

FSSAI Registration / License, matched to your scale.

We assess your business scale and activity to determine whether you need Basic Registration, a State License or a Central License, then prepare the application.

01|OVERVIEW

What is FSSAI Registration / License?

Any business involved in manufacturing, processing, packaging, storing, distributing, transporting or selling food products in India needs an FSSAI registration or licence, issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India.

The requirement is tiered — Basic Registration for very small food businesses, a State License for mid-sized operations, and a Central License for larger businesses, importers/exporters, and certain multi-state operations — determined by annual turnover and business activity.

Gurur Consultancy assesses your turnover, activity and location to identify the correct tier, then prepares and files your application with the appropriate FSSAI authority.
