FSSAI registration and FSSAI license are two different types of approvals that food businesses in India need to obtain from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to operate legally.
FSSAI registration is a basic registration that is required for small food businesses that have an annual turnover of up to Rs. 12 lakhs. This registration can be done online and is usually processed within 7 days. The FSSAI registration certificate is valid for 1-5 years, depending on the preference of the applicant.
FSSAI license, on the other hand, is required for medium and large food businesses that have an annual turnover of more than Rs. 12 lakhs.
The license is further classified into three categories – State License, Central License, and Registration Exemption. The FSSAI license is valid for 1-5 years, depending on the preference of the applicant and the type of license obtained.
In summary, FSSAI registration is a basic approval required for small food businesses, while FSSAI license is a more comprehensive approval required for medium and large food businesses.
