FSSAI Registration Services in Surat

Surat's diamond wealth fuels a vibrant food scene-locho-khaman stalls, ghari sweet shops, and restaurants serving the Gujarati-speaking business community. Street food here rivals any Indian city. If you're running a famous locho stall, a Surati undhiyu restaurant, or a packaged snack manufacturing unit, FSSAI registration is essential. The city's prosperous population expects quality matching their standards. Your license enables retail distribution of Surat's famous snacks, e-commerce expansion, and the trust of health-conscious consumers seeking authentic flavours with verified safety compliance.

What is FSSAI Registration?

FSSAI registration represents the compulsory certification that individuals or businesses must obtain when engaged in food production, processing, warehousing, distribution, or sales anywhere in India. Administered by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, this registration confirms that food items satisfy prescribed quality and safety parameters.

For food ventures based in Surat, acquiring FSSAI registration extends beyond legal compliance-it serves as a credibility marker. Whether you operate a neighbourhood snack counter, manage a home-run catering service, or own an established restaurant brand, displaying the unique 14-digit registration number demonstrates your commitment to consumer health and product integrity.

  • Bakeries, confectioneries, and sweet shops

Types of FSSAI Registration in Surat

FSSAI categorises food businesses based on their annual turnover and production capacity. Choosing the correct registration type ensures compliance while avoiding unnecessary fees.

FSSAI Basic Registration

Tailored for modest food operations generating annual turnover beneath ₹12 lakh. This encompasses petty retailers, mobile vendors, temporary stallholders, and home-operated food ventures. Businesses producing under 100 kg of food products daily or managing up to 500 litres of milk qualify for basic registration via Form A.

FSSAI State License

Required for medium-sized food businesses with turnover between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore. Restaurants, mid-scale manufacturers, storage facilities, and distributors operating within Surat typically need this license. Application happens through Form B with the State Food Safety Department.

FSSAI Central License

Required for sizeable food corporations exceeding ₹20 crore annual revenue. This classification covers large-scale producers, cross-border traders, and businesses spanning multiple states. Central license seekers interact directly with FSSAI central office for clearances and compliance matters.
