On December 1, 2022, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) released a notification regarding the immediate adjustment of a license in cases of addition and deletion of non-high-risk standardized food products from the existing license by manufacturers. Read more about the recent FSSAI update in the following article.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is an independent government agency that was established in 2008 in accordance with the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006. This organization’s major goal is to regulate and monitor the quality of India’s food industry in order to ensure the safety of food consumed in the country. It verifies and establishes a baseline or standard for all food items, ensuring that they are hygienic and safe to consume. Food Business Operators (FBOs) must obtain an FSSAI registration or license, before launching any food business in India.
It was observed that most license adjustments are associated with changes in firm details such as an address, name, communication details, product details, the addition of new goods to the license, and so on. In some of the applications for modifications, the manufacturer requests to add only Standardized Products [non-high risk] to the license that already exists. The Food Authority examined the situation during its 40th meeting to make company operations simpler and to speed up the license modification procedure. Following is the conclusion of the last meeting of the Food Authority:
As of December 23, 2022, the same has been applied in the FOSCOS portal.

The Food Authority looked into the situation to streamline business operations and accelerate the license modification process during its 40th meeting. Only those who currently hold a food license are eligible for the FSSAI Modification. If the agreement is cancelled, an FBO must reapply after three months. A Modification of the FSSAI License must be submitted by the FBO in the case of a change in ownership. The FBO must also undergo the company registration process.
