What are the Types of FSSAI License and Registrations ?

FSSAI or FOOD Safety and Standards Authority in India is the primary body in India that ensures that the process foods that are available in the market accentuate upon the right hygienic and safety standards. Therefore, every FBO or Food business operator that engages with import, export, processing, storing or manufacturing of processed foods is required to obtain the FSSAI license. There are three types of these licenses and through the course of this blog; we are going to take a brief look into these licenses.
