The dairy industry is one of the most strictly regulated sectors by FSSAI due to the high risk of contamination and adulteration. Whether you are collecting raw milk or producing value-added products like ghee and paneer, having the right license is mandatory.
To get your license approved, your unit must follow these standards:
Dairy units are required to maintain strict records of milk quality, fat content, and SNF (Solid Not Fat). Regular lab testing of batches is a mandatory FSSAI requirement for license maintenance.
Ensure your dairy brand stands for purity. Pragati Services helps dairy entrepreneurs navigate the complex technical documentation for FSSAI licenses, ensuring your plant starts operations smoothly.
