Depending on the size of the food business, there are different types of FSSAI registrations offered.

Small or petty FBOs can receive registrations if their annual turnover is less than Rs. 12 lakhs.

If a Food Business Operator operates in multiple states, they must obtain a Central License for their registered Office/Head Office. Additionally, they need to obtain separate licenses/registrations for each unit based on the capacity/turnover from the relevant State/Central Licensing Authority.
The Licensing Officer has the authority to decline the application if the necessary information is not submitted within the designated 30-day timeframe.
FSSAI is the abbreviation for "Food Safety and Standard Authority of India." It is an independent organization under the Ministry of Health. Every individual or entity eligible for an FSSAI food safety registration or license must obtain FSSAI registration.
