FSSAI Product Approval


FSSAI Product Approval is basically a procedure in which FSSAI, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India deems a product fit for consumption/ use in further food production capacity. The product approval by FSSAI is needed when the ingredients of the product do not comply with the regulations of the Food Safety and Standards Act. A Food Business Operator (FBO) might have to get the FSSAI product approval in case the food has some additives not prescribed under the regulations of FSSAI.
A product willing to enter the FSSAI approved product list, had to do so via filing the FSSAI Product approval application and a demand draft for the prescribed fee to the FSSAI office in New Delhi. This system worked well up until a few years. However, as soon as the volume of applications to FSSAI increased they decided to switch to the FSSAI Product Approval System (FPAS) online. This online system was also brought in to increase the transparency in the product approval procedure by FSSAI.
The Product approval by FSSAI is granted at a Central Government level.

Essential Documents for FSSAI Product Approval


Process for FSSAI Product Approval Process


The procedure for the FSSAI product approval consists of the following steps:

Start a Business (Business Structure Establishment)

The approval for a food product by FSSAI is the lifeline of food businesses as it grants the business the power to manufacture and market certain types of products in India. FSSAI product approval is granted only after a considerable amount of processing and procedures and it also includes a payment of high fees to the FSSAI. Therefore, in order to streamline the procedure of approval for a product, it is advisable to incorporate a corporate entity like a Private Limited Company, Proprietorship or an LLP.


Food Business Operator License

The Food Business Operator License or the FSSAI License as it is generally referred to is the basic necessity for businesses involved in the manufacture, handling, selling of food products. In order to get your food product approval, a copy of the FSSAI license of the operator is needed to be attached to the food product approval application. Here, at LegalRaasta we can help you acquire the FSSAI License.


Test Reports

The food product approval procedure in India requires that along with the application, and the food license, you also submit a bunch of test reports from National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) Accredited Labs. The tests conducted on a particular product vary according to the type of the product. The NABL lab reports are used to validate the claims made by the food business about the product including label claims, ingredients of the product along with other food safety management parameters.


Food Product Label

The application for approval of food product by FSSAI should enclose the label of the product. The label can just be a blueprint/prototype of the original label and it isn’t necessary to prin the label while the approval procedure is going on. However, it is vital that the food product label conforms to the food product labelling Standards as specified in the FSSAI Packaging and Labelling Regulation Act, 2011.


Application Submission

Once all of the above information has been compiled and put in order the application for approval of food product can be submitted online. The application can be made on the Food Product Approval System (FPAS).
This procedure can be a taxing and highly tedious while running fully functional Food Business.
