Regulatory context
FSSAI and food safety management
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulates food business operators through licensing, standards, and enforcement under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
NQSC does not list a dedicated FSSAI license filing service. Discuss whether audit support or documentation scope fits your project before you proceed.
FSSAI issues central and state licences to food business operators based on turnover, activity, and location.

Avoid delays
Common mistakes in this sector
Issues NQSC often sees during readiness reviews before filing or audit.
Wrong licence category
Central versus state registration depends on scale and activity; errors delay approval.
HACCP plan not linked to operations
Generic templates that do not match actual lines fail customer or authority reviews.
Expecting NQSC to file FSSAI licences
Confirm published service scope; licence filing may require other specialists if not offered by NQSC.
