FSSAI Registration or Licence: A Guide for Food Businesses
Published November 4, 2026

Food businesses generally need the applicable FSSAI registration or licence. The category depends on the food activity and the applicable eligibility criteria. Before applying, identify whether the business manufactures, stores, distributes, transports, retails, caters or sells food online. Prepare applicant and premises details, food activity information and supporting documents required by the FoSCoS application. Do not assume every food business uses the same category. Check the current official eligibility rules before filing.
