Guidelines for opening a meat shop or slaughterhouse. Learn about sanitary requirements, staff health checks, and waste management under FSSAI.

Operating a Compliant Meat Shop: FSSAI Guidelines 2026

Selling fresh meat, poultry, or fish requires high standards of hygiene to prevent foodborne illnesses. FSSAI has specific 'Schedule 4' requirements for meat retail shops to ensure safety.

1. Sanitary and Hygiene Standards

  • Walls & Flooring: Must be made of non-absorbent, easy-to-clean materials (like tiles/stainless steel).
  • Ventilation: Adequate airflow to prevent odor buildup and humidity.
  • Separation: Raw meat must be kept away from any processed or ready-to-eat food.

2. Staff Health & Personal Hygiene

Workers must undergo periodic health checkups to ensure they do not carry any transmissible diseases. Protective gear like aprons, gloves, and headgears is mandatory during handling and cutting.

3. Waste & Pest Management

Meat shops generate high levels of biological waste. Proper disposal bins and regular pest control treatments (every 3 months) are vital for keeping your FSSAI license active.

Don't let compliance issues close your shop. Pragati Services provides expert guidance on layout design and license filing for meat and poultry businesses.
