The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) enforces strict penalties to ensure public health. Non-compliance with FSSAI rules can lead to heavy financial fines, business suspension, and in severe cases, imprisonment.
As discussed in our validity guide, failing to renew on time attracts a late fee of ₹100 per day. If not renewed within 180 days of expiry, the license is permanently deactivated, and you must apply for a new one while paying penalties for the gap period.
Don't risk your reputation and finances. Pragati Services offers compliance shielding and regular audits to keep your business penalty-free.
