Overview
What is FSSAI Registration?
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) mandates that every food business operator (FBO)—whether a manufacturer, transporter, distributor, or retailer—must obtain a valid food license to operate legally. Depending on your annual turnover and operational scale, businesses must apply for a Basic Registration, a State License, or a Central License through the online FoSCoS portal. An FSSAI license ensures that your food products meet stringent safety and hygiene standards, which protects public health and enhances your brand’s credibility. Calcutta Corporate provides end-to-end assistance in determining your eligibility, compiling the required documentation, and securing your FSSAI certificate swiftly so you can focus on growing your food business.
