India has one of the world's most thriving and diverse food industries. The rich cultural heritage and large agricultural sector have both contributed significantly to the growth of the Indian food industry. Over the last few decades, the Indian food and beverage industry has grown by leaps and bounds.
Several food business operators (FBO) began to participate in the supply chain in a variety of roles, including selling, producing, processing, and distributing, as well as manufacturing and cooking food in hotels and restaurants. In order to protect the health and welfare of consumers, these activities needed to be closely monitored and effectively managed. The Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006 established laws, guidelines, and, most importantly, a dedicated regulatory body for this purpose.
The Food Standards and Safety Authority of India (FSSAI) is India's food safety regulatory and governing body. In India, all FBOs are required by law to obtain a licence from the FSSAI. The FSSAI portal can be used to obtain and renew the licence. The licence is thus required for food businesses to operate in India, and obtaining it confers a number of benefits on these establishments.
A licence can provide legal advantages, foster goodwill, ensure food safety, increase consumer awareness, and aid in business expansion. It also helps with the regulation, production, storage, distribution, and sale of imported food. It is simple to raise funds from investors when an FBO is FSSAI registered. The FSSAI logo can be found on food products. Ensures that customers are served high-quality food. The presence of the FSSAI registration number on the food premises indicates that the establishment meets hygiene and quality standards.
