Basic Registration, State Licence, or Central Licence โ every food business in India is legally required to be registered with FSSAI. Shripada Enterprises, your authorised CSC in Pune, handles your FSSAI application on the official FoSCoS portal from start to certificate.
Food Safety & Standards Authority of India
FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is the apex regulatory body for food safety in India, established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Every entity involved in the manufacture, processing, storage, distribution, sale, or import of food products must mandatorily obtain an FSSAI licence or registration.
In Pune, applications are submitted through the FoSCoS (Food Safety Compliance System) portal โ the official online platform for all FSSAI registrations and licences. The licence type depends on your annual business turnover and the scale of operations.
Whether you run a home tiffin service, a restaurant on Swiggy, a catering business, or a large food manufacturing unit โ we at Shripada Enterprises handle the complete FSSAI process so your food business is legally compliant from day one.
Find My Licence Type
Three-Tier System
FSSAI has a three-tier registration and licensing system based on your annual turnover and business scale. Applying for the wrong type causes rejection โ we identify the correct one for you.
Who Must Register
If your business touches food in any way โ manufacturing, processing, selling, distributing, or storing โ FSSAI registration is legally mandatory.
Legal & Business Impact
Beyond legal compliance, FSSAI opens business doors and builds the consumer trust that food businesses in Pune depend on.
Operating a food business without FSSAI is a criminal offence. FSSAI officers and local food safety authorities in Pune conduct regular surprise inspections โ unregistered businesses are sealed on the spot.
A valid FSSAI licence is a mandatory requirement for listing your food business on Swiggy, Zomato, Dunzo, and the ONDC network. Without it, your account gets rejected or suspended.
Supplying food to hotels, hospitals, schools, corporate offices, or government institutions requires a valid FSSAI licence โ without it, bulk orders are legally prohibited.
All packaged food products sold in India must carry the 14-digit FSSAI licence number on the label. Selling without it is a violation โ and e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart require it.
FSSAI Central Licence is mandatory for exporting food products from India. It is recognised by food import authorities in the USA, EU, and other countries as proof of safety compliance.
The FSSAI logo on your menu, packaging, or shop signals food safety compliance to customers โ a significant trust signal in today's health-conscious market in Pune.
