FSSAI Food Safety License & FoSCoS Registration Services
Food safety license assistance for home kitchens, restaurants, sweet shops, cloud kitchens, retail food stores, and food manufacturers.
Overview & Legal Requirements
Under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, every Food Business Operator (FBO) in India involved in manufacturing, processing, packaging, storing, distributing, or selling food items must obtain an official FSSAI registration or license before commencing commercial operations. The regulatory framework is administered digitally through the Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS) portal by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
Displaying a valid 14-digit FSSAI license number is legally mandatory on all food packaging, promotional material, invoices, and digital storefronts on Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit, and Zepto. Operating a food business without a valid FSSAI license is a non-bailable offense under Section 31 of the FSS Act, punishable with imprisonment up to 6 months and monetary fines up to ₹5,00,000.
Madhav Consultancy simplifies the entire FoSCoS licensing process. We determine your exact licensing tier (Basic Registration for turnover under ₹12 Lakhs/year vs State License for turnover ₹12L–₹20Cr/year), correctly categorize your food products under the Food Safety Code, draft mandatory FSMS declarations, and follow up directly with the Designated Officer (DO) to ensure hassle-free certificate approval.
