Delhi being the capital and metropolitan city of the country has blended its unique food industry and street food culture. So it has become very necessary for authorities to regulate the food industry for the safety of consumers.
Thus the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has introduced FSSAI registration for food businesses in Delhi.
The registration is mandatory and it will ensure the safety of food sold by businesses, and will also help the authorities to ensure that food products conform to safety standards and are not adulterated.
The FSSAI registration in Delhi for food businesses will be similar to that for small and large-scale food manufacturing businesses and can be done easily through FSSAI-FosCos online portal.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
