Obtaining a Central FSSAI Licence for National Scale-Up
A packaged-foods manufacturer in Indore was scaling from regional to national distribution, which required upgrading from a state FSSAI registration to a Central licence. Modern-trade and e-commerce buyers were making onboarding conditional on the Central licence, and documentation gaps were holding up the application.
A clear-eyed look at where they stood.
A packaged-foods manufacturer in Indore was scaling from regional to national distribution, which required upgrading from a state FSSAI registration to a Central licence. Modern-trade and e-commerce buyers were making onboarding conditional on the Central licence, and documentation gaps were holding up the application.
CapEasy assessed the licensing requirement for the company’s scale and product categories, compiled the technical and facility documentation, corrected the deficiencies in the earlier filings, and managed the Central FSSAI application through to grant, coordinating with the authorities on every query.
The outcome
The company secured its Central FSSAI licence, unlocking onboarding with national modern-trade and e-commerce channels. Its food-safety documentation was also brought to the standard those buyers expect.
