FSSAI is the organization that is responsible for the registering licenses of every food business operator (FBO) in India thereby regulating quality checks of food products and restricting the food adulteration and sale of substandard products. It lays down the rules and regulations for carrying food business in India and ensures the protection of public health. 

Anyone starting a food business is required to follow FSSAI rules and regulations. According to the FSS Act, every food business operator involved in the manufacturing, processing, storage, distribution, or sales of food products in the country must be registered or licensed under the FSSAI. The 14-digit registration number of the food license which will be printed on the food packages or displayed on-premises gives data about the producer’s permit and suggests the legal certification. Setting the standards and principles of food safety, FSSAI ensures and promotes the welfare of food businesses in India
