Food safety regulator, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has mandated an FSSAI license for ecommerce food business operators (FBOs) to run a business, as per recent guidelines.
A notification issued last week stated, “Ecommerce FBOs have to obtain a licence from the central licensing authority for the entire supply chain. i.e. – “head office/registered office, manufacturers, transportation, storage, distribution, etc.”
