Running a food business in Ghaziabad requires proper registration and compliance with food safety regulations. Whether you operate a restaurant, bakery, cloud kitchen, food manufacturing unit, grocery shop, or catering business, obtaining an FSSAI License in Ghaziabad is an important legal requirement.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulates food businesses across India to ensure that food products meet prescribed safety and quality standards. Every eligible Food Business Operator (FBO) must obtain the appropriate FSSAI Registration or License before commencing operations.
With professional documentation and application support from Shugam Consultants, food business owners can make the registration process more organised and avoid common application mistakes.
An FSSAI License is an official registration or licence issued under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. It provides a 14-digit identification number to registered food businesses.
This number helps identify food businesses and supports regulatory monitoring of food safety standards. Depending on the nature, scale, and annual turnover of the business, an applicant may require Basic Registration, State License, or Central License.
Any individual or organisation involved in manufacturing, storing, distributing, selling, or supplying food products may need FSSAI registration or a licence.
The following businesses commonly require FSSAI approval:
Restaurants and Cafes: Restaurants, hotels, food outlets, dhabas and cafes.
Cloud Kitchens: Online food delivery businesses and home-based kitchens.
Food Manufacturers: Packaged food, bakery, dairy, spices, snacks and beverage manufacturers.

Food Distributors: Wholesalers, suppliers, distributors and food storage operators.
Catering Businesses: Event caterers, institutional kitchens and food service providers.

| State License | Above ₹1.5 Crore up to ₹50 Crore |
