For any food-related business to operate in India, registration and obtaining an FSSAI license via the Food Licensing and Registration System (FLRS) online portal is mandatory. This license is a requirement for all food businesses, covering manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, marketing, transportation, retail, import, and export, with validity ranging from 1 to 5 years.
