FSSAI Registration & Licensing
FSSAI food licensing and registration are compulsory for food processors, wholesale distributors, retailers, and exporters in India. Under the FoSCoS portal guidelines, businesses are divided into Basic Registration, State License, or Central License depending on turnover and trade scope. We manage the entire application: compiling water safety reports, unit blueprints, director lists, and FSMS plans to ensure fast officer approval.
