Let\u2019s take examples that you just consumed a product that caused mild food poisoning due to consumption of one of the ingredients present in the food products. This can be a secluded case when any one is affected but if the food poisoning takes place to every customer who purchased the particular food product. You can imagine the gravity and level of damage it can cause to the customers as well as society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly the best example of\nconsuming food products without proper policy and safety standards can be the\nspread of Corona Virus that started from a ghetto market of Wuhan, China.\nResearchers have claimed that the virus spreaded through eating of various\nanimals that are not usually safe for human consumption. Let\u2019s see what steps India\nhas taken to organize and control the Food Industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_FPO_and_FSSAI\"><\/span>History of FPO and FSSAI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before coming of <strong>FSSAI regulations<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fssai.gov.in\/cms\/food-safety-and-standards-regulations.php\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>, the government of India used to have several inscription, registrations and certificates that were used to regulate the food industry of India.\u00a0FPO\u00a0was one of the food regulations in India before implementation of FSSAI in the year 2006.\u00a0FPO stands for the <strong><em>\u2018Fruit Products Order\u2019<\/em><\/strong> which was formed as a health safety &amp; hygiene regulatory certificate granted to food business operator that made food products made from fruits as well as vegetables.\u00a0FPO\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/fssai-license\"><strong>FSSAI registration<\/strong><\/a> was obligatory on producer of processed foods made using fruits and vegetables such as packaged juices, packaged vegetables, canned fruits, ready to eat food etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruit Products Order was active since 1955 and pretty much become a redundant order. In 2006 the new <strong><em>Food Safety and Standards Act of India<\/em><\/strong> came into effect and all previous registrations, certificates and licenses lost their lawful status.

This is compulsory for all\nbusiness that is organized as a food business operator for audit. Additionally,\nto examine and approve as a source of food that is safe and harmless for human\nconsumption. This act authorized the amalgamation of all previous food organizations\ninto one governing body that is known as&nbsp;FSSAI. Before coming of FSSAI,\nthe regulation of food business was done as per the provisions of FPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FSSAI is the main regulator and principal\nbody of the food industry in India. FSSAI operates as the existing governing authority\nand every new or old food business operator has to get itself registered and examined\nby FSSAI to be officially operational in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does FSSAI work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FSSAI&nbsp;has a decentralized\norganizational structure. Every state has a separate division\nof&nbsp;FSSAI&nbsp;office that works in coordination to the local municipal\ncorporation of that particular state. It administers and controls the food\nindustry by creating food quality principles. Moreover, safety regulations have\nbecome obligatory for every registered food business to follow. Food business\noperator who does not oblige and follow&nbsp;the guidelines from the FSSAI\nloses its permitted status and cannot function lawfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FSSAI Certification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The food industry is like any other\nbusiness industry that requires shops, establishments and association of many\ndifferent volumes. A local street restaurant can classified as a small\nbusiness. While any admired fast-food chain can be categorized as a medium to\nlarge scale business. Alternatively, there are truly large scale business organizations\nsuch as FMCG goods producer as well as Hoteliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business size is one of the important criteria in order to go for FSSAI Registration. The reason behind it is that any small scale business will not require as many regulations as a large scale business. Therefore FSSAI registration has three levels of registration in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Therefore-FSSAI-registration-has-three-levels-of-registration-in-India.png\" alt=\"Types of FSSAI License\" class=\"wp-image-21588\" width=\"561\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Therefore-FSSAI-registration-has-three-levels-of-registration-in-India.png 1000w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Therefore-FSSAI-registration-has-three-levels-of-registration-in-India-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Therefore-FSSAI-registration-has-three-levels-of-registration-in-India-768x447.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_wants_FSSAI_Registration_in_India\"><\/span>Who\nwants FSSAI Registration in India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following persons and businesses\nare required to obtain the FSSAI registration-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Wholesalers<\/li><li>Transporter of food products<\/li><li>Raw food products suppliers<\/li><li>Online <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/responsibilities-of-food-business-operators-in-india\/\"><strong>food business operators<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li>Food traders<\/li><li>Food storage and production units<\/li><li>Exporter and importer of food products<\/li><li>Distributors of food products<\/li><li>All types of food producer<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Required_Documents_for_FSSAI_Registration\"><\/span>Required\nDocuments for FSSAI Registration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The documents required are bifurcated according to the different types\nof registrations, it has been explained below-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic Registration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>An identity proof along with\nphotograph<\/li><li>Passport size photograph<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">State &amp; Central License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Passport-sized photograph<\/li><li>No Objection Certificate\nfrom the local municipality<\/li><li>Memorandum of Association\nand Article of Association <\/li><li>List of directors or\npartners<\/li><li>Import Export registration<\/li><li>Certificate of incorporation<\/li><li>An identity proof that\nconsists of a photograph<\/li><li>Address Proof<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the above mentioned documents, the following documents\nare also necessary by the manufacturing unit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Report on water test<\/li><li>List of all machinery<\/li><li>List of all food categories<\/li><li>Blueprint of warehouse<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consequences_of_Non-Compliance_of_FSSAI\"><\/span>Consequences of Non-Compliance of FSSAI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any registered person under the FSSAI regulations has\nto fulfill the rules and regulation under the Food and Safety Standards Act of\nIndia, 2006.
