Overview

What is FSSAI registration?

FSSAI registration is a mandatory food-safety licence issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. Every food business operator — from a home kitchen to a large manufacturer — needs the right registration or licence before operating.

The category depends on your turnover and scale: Basic, State or Central. KNAP Advisory assesses your business, picks the correct category and manages the FoSCoS application end to end.
