A food business in Assam needs an FSSAI registration or licence under the Food Safety and Standards Act. FSSAI is a national system, so the application is made on the FSSAI portal, and the category depends on the business's turnover and activity. The state's food safety authority handles inspections and compliance for businesses in Assam.
Who needs this
- Restaurants, bakeries, dhaba and tea stalls selling food in Assam
- Manufacturers, packers and traders of food products
- Caterers and home kitchens selling food commercially
- Food importers and distributors in the state
What it is
FSSAI registration is for smaller food businesses. A state licence covers mid-size businesses, and a central licence covers larger operations or specific activities. The category is set by turnover and by the type of food activity. The licence confirms that the business complies with food safety standards.
Eligibility
- The business handles food for sale
