FSSAI Registration An Overview
The Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006 was enacted to enhance food hygiene and quality, resulting in significant transformations within the food industry. According to the provisions of the Act, no individual or entity may initiate or operate any food business without obtaining an FSSAI license or registration. Consequently, all entities involved in food manufacturing, processing, packaging, or distribution are mandated to secure an FSSAI License or Registration.
