Food Licence
Starting or running a food business involves more than serving great products. You also need to meet the food safety requirements that apply to your business. Whether you operate a restaurant, cloud kitchen, food manufacturing unit, catering business or retail outlet, getting the right FSSAI registration or licence is an important step.
G&CC Management Services helps food businesses across India understand their licensing requirements, organise documentation and navigate application, renewal and modification processes with greater ease.
In India, eligible food business operators must obtain the appropriate registration or licence under the food safety regulatory framework administered by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). The applicable category depends on the nature and scale of operations and other prescribed criteria.
The correct category should be assessed using current FSSAI criteria, including the type of business, location, turnover or capacity where relevant.
Food licence applications can involve different forms, supporting documents and regulatory checks. Our team helps businesses approach the process in an organised way.
As your business grows, details such as premises, business activities or ownership information may change. Depending on the nature of the change and applicable requirements, you may need to modify an existing licence or obtain a different approval. We help businesses review these changes and prepare the relevant documentation.
