Startup FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India)
The FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is a legal body that issues food licenses to various operators who are involved in businesses pertaining to the manufacturing, processing, storing, trading, catering, packing and labeling, sale, exports, and imports of food and other edible items. Individuals or organizations thus involved in handling food or food items at various stages before it reaches the customers are referred to as FBOs or Food Business Operators. A 14-digit registration or a license number is given by the FSSAI to the FBOs and the number is required to be printed on the packages of the respective products. The type of registration basically depends on factors like the size of the production, turnover, nature of activities involved etc of the FBO.
