FSSAI Offices in India

FSSAI

FSSAI is the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. FSSAI, empowered by the Food Safety and Security Act of 2006, sets the standards for healthy and consumable food products based on facts backed by science. The Food Authority of India also helps regulate the storage, production, distribution as well as the sales of the food products deemed safe to consume for the buyers of these food items. In addition to this, the food regulatory body also ensures that the food products are free from impurities and adulteration. FSSAI offices are located locally (region-wise) as well as centrally.

FSSAI absolutely does not entertain the sale of sub-standard and impure ingredients as they enforced their authority by prohibiting the sale of Nestle’s famous Noodles Maggi over an issue of high lead quantity in the products. Read more on Maggi’s issue with FSSAI. All institutions dispensing or producing food products have to undergo FSSAI’s standard test and are marked with TelePhone FSSAI logo for safe consumption. All restaurants are also instructed to display their FSSAI license in order to assure customers of safe food handling practices. Therefore, it is mandatory for Food Business Owners (FBOs) to acquire the FSSAI license no matter what the scale of their operation.
