Starting a food business in India requires proper compliance with food safety regulations. FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) registration or license is mandatory for any business involved in food-related activities such as manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage, distribution, or sale of food products.
Accountum India provides professional consultancy services for FSSAI Food License Registration in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat. Our experts assist restaurants, hotels, food manufacturers, cloud kitchens, caterers, and home-based food businesses in obtaining the required food license quickly and smoothly.
Food businesses operating through online platforms or delivery partners must also have an FSSAI license to ensure compliance with food safety standards. This license allows businesses to legally sell food products and maintain quality standards as prescribed by the government.
The food license registration process is now managed through the FoSCoS (Food Safety Compliance System) portal, which is the official platform for applying and managing FSSAI licenses in India.
There are three types of FSSAI licenses depending on the turnover and nature of the food business:
• Basic FSSAI Registration
• State FSSAI License
• Central FSSAI License
