FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) registration is a compulsory legal requirement for anyone operating a food business in India — whether you run a restaurant, manufacture packaged food, own a cloud kitchen, or even operate from home. Beyond compliance, it signals your commitment to hygiene and safety standards, reassuring your customers that your products are trustworthy. This blog post explains the importance of FSSAI registration, who needs it, what types of licenses are available (Basic, State, and Central), and what documents are required to apply. We also highlight the risks of operating without an FSSAI license — including heavy penalties, business closure, and loss of consumer confidence. Whether you’re a first-time entrepreneur or expanding your food brand, FSSAI registration is your first legal step — and Legal Desk India makes it fast, simple, and affordable.
