FSSAI registration is mandatory for all kinds of food business operators in India as per the regulations set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority under the FSS Act, 2006. As per the guidelines, no food business operator can commence any activity related to manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage, distribution, or sale of food products without having a valid FSSAI license and registration. It ensures food safety, hygiene standards, and legal compliance across the food supply chain. Whether you're running a home-based kitchen, a food truck, or a large-scale factory, registration is crucial.
