FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India)

In One Line

The regulatory body — and the license it issues — governing food safety for any business that manufactures, packages, stores, or sells food in India.

Licensing comes in three tiers (Basic, State, Central) based on turnover and scale. It's required for anything from a home bakery to a large food manufacturer, and marketplaces check the tier against your declared business scale before approving food listings.
