VALIDATE FSSAI LICENSE NUMBER AND RETRIEVE FBO DETAILS

Introduction

Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), a statutory body under The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, assigns a unique 14 digit license to the food product manufacturing and distribution companies, also known as FSSAI License Number, to be displayed on the food product packaging. According to the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006, this license proves that the FBO is in compliance and has a valid license.

This API offers a real time verification of the FSSAI license number. For a provided FSSAI number, this API returns if the license number is active and returns the associated details.

API Outcome

Name of the entity
License status, type and category
Registered address
List of products

The legacy data processing model is being formally deprecated.

In order to ensure continued compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), we are implementing DPDP V3 (Consent-Driven Processing). Under this framework, clients are required to obtain explicit, informed, and verifiable consent from the data principal prior to accessing, processing, viewing, or storing any personal data through the platform. This regulatory transition may require modifications to existing configurations and workflows. Clients are advised to review and update their implementations to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable data protection obligations. Further information regarding this transition can be enquired here. Learn more about this change here.
