Procedure for getting Product Approval in India

Following is the procedure for getting FSSAI product approval:

Company Incorporation
Basically, Food Product Approval is an intangible asset for any business or company and it gives the business with authority to either manufacture or markets a certain type of food product inIndia. In addition, each product approval is granted only after a significant amount of processing time and involves payment of high processing fees to FSSAI. Therefore, it has been advised that the Product Approval application is filed from any entity such as Private Limited Company or LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) so as to transfer the company or business easily at a later time with the FSSAI License (if needed).

FBO License:
A FBO or Food Business Operator License is vital for businesses that are involved in the selling, manufacturing, or handling of food items or products. A copy of the FBO License Certificate should be submitted while applying for food product approval. Hence, it is advisable that an FBO License is obtained in the business name (if required).

Test Reports:
The food Product Approval application shall be submitted with certain test reports from NABL accredited labs. But, the NABL lab reports are used to authenticate the claims, label claims, and other aspects of the food product. For the food product, the type of tests to be conducted will vary based on the product’s nature.

Label of the Product:
It’s compulsory to contain a product label for Product Approval. The label may be a prototype and need not be printed. It’s vital to make sure that the food product label follows the FSSAI food product labelling standards in India.

Submitting the Application:
After submitting all the vital documents, the application for Product Approval can be made through the FPAS or Food Product Approval System. However, it’s vital to have an expert while preparing & submitting the application. For more information, visit us on: https://www.registerkaro.in/
