The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) implements the Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act, 2006 and FSS Regulations, 2011. It ensures food standardisation and covers a large base of food products from restaurants to home bakers.
The FSSAI authority guarantees food safety in India. It ensures that people sell food across India by following some basic safety and hygiene standards making the food safe to consume for the general public. The FSSAI registration acts as food safety approval and gives confidence of quality to the customers.
Home bakers are people who bake food at home and sell them. It could also be a cottage industry that caters to consumers’ needs from their own residence. The home bakers and cottage industries should register themselves with FSSAI.
There is an increase in the number of home bakers since there has been an increase in demand for home baking products over the past few years. Thus, FSSAI made it compulsory for home bakers to obtain FSSAI registration to regulate the food safety and quality of such bakers. The home bakers will face legal issues if they do not get FSSAI registration for baking and selling food from home.
The FSSAI could impose a fine if home bakers do not obtain the registration and also ban them from continuing their food business in the future. It may also result in loss of business. Without FSSAI registration, home bakers will also not be able to sell their food online through delivery apps. Thus, all home bakers in India must obtain the FSSAI registration.
There are three types of FSSAI registration, i.e. FSSAI Basic Registration, FSSAI State License and FSSAI Central License. The FSSAI has categorised food business operators and the type of registration each category needs to obtain. The home bakers need to apply for FSSAI registration/license under the category of ‘Restaurant’ as per their turnover provided below:
The home bakers can also file for FSSAI registration offline by visiting the food safety commissioner or food safety officer-in-charge. They need to get the registration form, i.e. Form-A or Form-B, fill it and submit the documents to the officer-in-charge in the food safety department. The authorities will verify the application and grant the FSSAI registration.
The documents that the home bakers must submit to obtain the FSSAI basic registration are as follows:
