The State FSSAI License represents the intermediate tier of food safety certification under India's regulatory framework, designed specifically for medium-scale food businesses operating within a single state. This mandatory license serves as a crucial compliance instrument that validates a business's adherence to comprehensive food safety standards, operational hygiene protocols, and quality control measures. Positioned between Basic Registration and Central License categories, the State FSSAI License addresses the needs of growing food enterprises that have surpassed the basic registration thresholds but operate within confined geographical boundaries.
This license category demonstrates a business's commitment to elevated safety standards and signifies its progression from small-scale operations to more structured, organized food business activities. The State FSSAI License is issued by respective State Food Safety Departments under the overarching authority of FSSAI, ensuring regional compliance while maintaining national standards.
