Food Safety and Standards Authority of India
What is FSSAI?
FSSAI stands for Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. It’s the regulatory body under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare that ensures the safety and quality of food for consumers.
What are FSSAI Compliances?
FSSAI compliances refer to all the rules, regulations, and standards that food businesses must follow to legally manufacture, store, distribute, and sell food in India.
Here’s what that typically includes:
- FSSAI License/Registration
Every food business must:
- Register with FSSAI (for small businesses).
- Get a license (State or Central depending on size & turnover).
Without this, operating a food business is illegal.
- Labeling Compliance
Packaged food must follow strict FSSAI labeling guidelines, including:
- Name of the product
- Ingredients list
- Nutritional info
- Allergen info
- Veg/Non-Veg symbol
- FSSAI License number
- MRP, manufacturing & expiry date
- Hygiene & Sanitation
Food businesses must follow the Schedule 4 guidelines of the FSSAI Act:
- Clean premises
- Pest control
- Safe water
- Clean uniforms and gloves for staff
- Proper food handling techniques
- Food Testing
Food products must be tested at FSSAI-approved labs to ensure they meet the quality and safety standards — especially for exports or high-risk items. - Training (FoSTaC)
At least one food handler per business must undergo FoSTaC training — a government-approved food safety training and certification course.

Need to know more about Recall plan?
FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) mandates that food businesses ensure a minimum shelf life of 30% or 45 days before products expire at the time of delivery, especially for e-commerce and quick-commerce operators. They also require quarterly data submission on rejected and expired food products by licensed manufacturers, repackers, and importers. The goal is to ensure food safety, prevent misuse of expired products, and promote proper waste disposal.
