Verify any 14-digit FSSAI licence or registration number issued to food businesses across India.

Short Information

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the statutory regulator under the FSSA 2006 that licences every Food Business Operator (FBO) — manufacturers, distributors, retailers, food-service outlets, e-commerce platforms — based on annual turnover and scale. Every FBO receives a 14-digit FSSAI licence/registration number that must be displayed on packaging, menus and shop-front. The FoSCoS portal lets consumers, regulators, e-commerce platforms and partners verify the validity, status, address, and product categories of any FSSAI licence. Online verification accepts both Central Licences (annual turnover > ₹20 Cr) and State Licences/Registrations.
