Are you a food business operator in India? Whether you run a restaurant, manufacturing unit, or distribution network, compliance with FSSAI standards is not optional—it’s mandatory.
In this blog, we provide you with a comprehensive FSSAI Audit Checklist to help you stay compliant with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This checklist is based on the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and includes relevant provisions, the nature of the requirement, and the consequences of non-compliance.
📋 What is an FSSAI Audit?
FSSAI audits are periodic evaluations conducted either by the Food Safety Authority or certified auditors to ensure that a food business is maintaining hygiene, safety, and operational standards.
Businesses are categorized into:
-
Basic Registration (annual turnover < ₹12 lakh)
-
State License (₹12 lakh to ₹20 crore)
-
Central License (above ₹20 crore or interstate operations)
