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. The FSSAI state license fee is applicable during the registration process.
