FSSAI Central License
FSSAI Central License is a food business licence issued under the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) framework for large-scale food businesses and certain categories of food business operators that are required to obtain a Central Licence.
It is commonly required for eligible large food manufacturers, importers, exporters, e-commerce food businesses, businesses operating in multiple states and other food business operators falling under the Central Licence criteria. For many categories, businesses with an annual turnover above ₹20 crore require an FSSAI Central License, although eligibility can also depend on production capacity, business activity and other prescribed criteria.
An FSSAI Central License provides regulatory recognition to eligible food businesses and helps them conduct food-related operations in accordance with applicable food safety requirements.
