Ok you got a brilliant idea and you want to do a startup now and you think that food is what you like. You start a eCommerce website and app registering the local food vendors, Cool!!. The next thing is that you can be called as illegal.Why?
Where
is your research?(I went through the same)
Most
of the eCommerce startups are in the same category, so chill. Here is what you
should do and why.
Why
Illegal?
You
might have registered your company but still you have no idea that you have to
be registered under the FSSAI ACT 2006. FSSAI
Chairman had a few things to say and he was very clear about it, even though
there are lot of other issues they ignore. They want you to do the registration
first. He said that there is no way you can escape this saying we are just technology
providers for the existing food items
You
are a online directory or wholesaler or retailer or you do both storing and
selling you have to get the license from FSSAI. This is a positive move if you
take consumers as the food quality will now be in check but as a startup and
new registrations every day ,It sucks.
I am
just sharing this so that if any of you are planning please know the basic
things so that once you make money the politicians don’t run your business J
Here
is the steps if you need to register your food business
1.Food License from FSSAI (Food Safety &
Standards Authority of India) you would require individual licenses from FSSAI
