Things to know about FSSAI Registration
Every food business operator (FBO) will have to get FSSAI registration as per the rules of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
If you are a home chef, but selling without registration of FSSAI, then beware. It attracts a fine of up to ₹5 lakhs. Or often violators will be imposed with lifetime imprisonment based on the situation.
Here are all the details related to FSSAI registration:
