FSSAI Product Approval

FSSAI product approval is the process by which a product gets approved by the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India before they are introduced in the market. The FSSAI has set standards for various food products through the Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act, 2006, and multiple Regulations. However, many new food products and ingredients are introduced by Food Business Operators (FBOs) every year that are not covered under the Act or Regulations. FSSAI Product Approval is mandatory for food products not covered under any FSSAI Act or Regulations. Know more about FSSAI Product Approval
