Central FSSAI Licence is for businesses with turnover above ₹20 crore, importers, exporters, and large manufacturers, issued by FSSAI headquarters. Central licence has higher fees, stricter compliance, and requires a Food Recall Plan.
Yes, each business premise requires a separate FSSAI licence. If you operate multiple outlets, manufacturing units, or storage facilities, you must obtain a separate licence for each location. Each licence has its own unique FSSAI number and validity. Our team can help you apply for multiple licences simultaneously.
During the physical inspection, the state food safety officer visits your premises to verify: hygiene and sanitation conditions, equipment and machinery, storage facilities, food handling practices, staff health and hygiene, and your Food Safety Management Plan. The officer also checks labels and packaging compliance. Our team prepares you thoroughly for the inspection.
