What is FSSAI?

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) was established under the Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act, 2006. It is a regulatory body empowered by the Central Government to implement and enforce the provisions of the FSS Act.

FSSAI oversees the safety, hygiene, and quality standards of food in India. It monitors food storage, manufacturing, and handling practices of Food Business Operators (FBOs) to ensure compliance with legal regulations. The authority also conducts inspections of food establishments and issues the FSSAI license, which is mandatory for legally running any food-related business in India.
