FSSAI stands for the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. It is the regulatory body for ensuring the safety of consumption and handling of food products in compliance with the standards and regulations set in the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The food businesses who comply with the regulations of this act are issued a Food License by FSSAI. FBOs have to imprint the 14-digit FSSAI license number and imprint on it the FSSAI logo.

For eg., for me, the username was already taken and password did not have capital letters.
Step 5: Once your account is created, You will get a success message from the website. Once, you have done the FSSAI login, you are supposed to apply for a license within 30 days to avoid the disabling of the login id created creation.
