Under the direction of the FSSAI, all organizations engaged in the food industry in India from production and processing to distribution and retailing must obtain an FSSAI license or registration. FSSAI Registration differs from FSSAI License based on the size and nature of the firm. Food Business Operators (FBOs) should obtain the appropriate registration or license based on the size of their business.
