FSSAI Application Status Tracking: Your Complete Guide to Online License Check

FSSAI application status tracking is essential for every food business owner. If you’ve applied for an FSSAI license or registration, The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has made the process simple and transparent through its online portal — foscos (Food Safety Compliance System).

In this blog, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to check the status of your FSSAI application, what each status means, and how you can download your license once it’s approved.

What Is FSSAI License?

The FSSAI license is a mandatory registration for anyone involved in the food business — including manufacturers, traders, restaurants, cloud kitchens, small vendors, and food delivery platforms.
It ensures that your food products meet safety and quality standards set by the Government of India.

Types of FSSAI License (Basic, State, Central)

There are three main types of FSSAI licenses – Basic, State, and Central License.

• Basic License is for small food businesses with an annual turnover of up to ₹12 lakhs.
• State License is required for medium-sized food businesses with a turnover between ₹12 lakhs and ₹20 crores.
• Central License is mandatory for large-scale or multi-state food manufacturers, importers, and exporters.

Choosing the right FSSAI License type ensures your food business stays legally compliant and operates without any risk of penalties.
