Transparency is a core value of the FSSAI. Whether you are a consumer checking a product or a business owner verifying a supplier, anyone can check the status of a 14-digit FSSAI number online.
Visit the official FoSCoS website and use the 'Verify FSSAI Number' search bar. Enter the 14-digit number found on the packet or license. If the number is valid, it will show the business name, address, and the validity date.
For businesses, verifying a supplier's FSSAI number is a mandatory part of 'Vendor Management'. For consumers, it is the only way to ensure that the food they are eating is monitored by the Indian safety authorities.
Stay informed. Pragati Services provides authentication services for businesses to ensure their entire supply chain is 100% FSSAI-compliant.

The FSSAI number on the packet is not working. What should I do?
This could be a sign of a fake license or a typo. You can report such discrepancies to FSSAI through their 'Food Safety Connect' app.
Can I check the FSSAI number of a restaurant on Zomato?
Yes, food delivery apps usually display the FSSAI license number of the restaurant in the 'More Info' or 'About' section.
Is it possible to search for a business name without the FSSAI number?
The official verification tool requires the 14-digit number. To search by name, you may need to use advanced search filters available to authorized officers.
