In India, businesses engaged in the food sector must get registered under FSSAI Registration or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. This makes sure that safe and quality food products are delivered to consumers. Some of the business categories under FSSAI are registered or licensees are listed below:
Food Manufacturers:
Every manufacturing, processing, or packaging of food items business has to be registered under FSSAI. This includes a food processing unit, a packaging unit, etc.
Food Importers:
Every food product importer into India is required to obtain FSSAI registration so that imported products are safe and good quality.
Food Traders:
All food product traders such as wholesalers and retailers must obtain FSSAI registration to operate lawfully.
Restaurants, Hotels, and Catering Services:
Restaurants, hotels, cafes, and catering businesses have to obtain FSSAI registration. This will help them maintain food hygiene and quality standards.
Food Storage and Distribution Units:
Units involved in the storage, distribution, and transportation of food products have to adhere to FSSAI regulations for proper storage and handling.
Online Food Delivery Platforms:
E-commerce food businesses and food delivery services through the Internet must also be FSSAI registered so that the food they deliver is safe and hygienic.
Small-Scale Food Operators:
Even street food vendors, dairy producers, and small food manufacturing units must register with FSSAI based on their turnover.
Packaged Food Sellers:
If your business sells packaged food items-whether branded or non-branded-it is mandatory to have an FSSAI registration.

The time taken to obtain FSSAI Registration would depend on the type of registration sought, whether it is a Basic, State, or Central, and the document submission. In general, the process takes:
Basic FSSAI Registration:Â
If your business is small-scale with an annual turnover of less than ₹12 Lakhs, then it may take 7-10 working days from the date of submission for the Basic FSSAI registration.
State FSSAI License:
For medium-sized businesses, if the turnover is between ₹12 Lakhs and ₹20 Crores, it would take 15-20 working days to obtain a State License.
Central FSSAI License:
Large businesses that have a turnover of more than ₹20 Crores or engage in interstate food trade require a Central License. The processing time for this is generally 30-40 working days.
