All units handling high-risk products, such as dairy, meat, seafood, alcoholic beverages, and packaged foods, as well as importing or exporting these products, and crossing state boundaries, need to be Central Registered. Moreover, all high-risk food processors needing an annual turnover of above Rs. 20 crore are bound to be Central Registered.
