About FSSAI Basic Registration

FSSAI Basic Registration involves obtaining a 14-digit registration number that must be printed on food packaging or displayed at the place of business. This number helps authorities track and monitor food businesses and ensures accountability.

The registration process is simple and involves submission of basic details such as business information, type of food activity, and identity proof. Once approved, the registration certificate is issued, which is valid for a specific period and must be renewed before expiry.

FSSAI ensures that food businesses follow hygiene practices, proper storage conditions, and quality standards. Even small businesses are required to comply with these guidelines to protect consumer health.

This registration is the first step towards scaling a food business. As the business grows and turnover increases, it can upgrade to FSSAI State or Central License.
