FSSAI Compliance
Basic, State and Central FSSAI license applications, renewals, labelling checks and Schedule 4 hygiene compliance, so your food business stays on the right side of every FSSAI requirement.
Why FSSAI compliance matters
Operating without the correct FSSAI license, or letting one lapse, can shut down a kitchen, a manufacturing line, or an entire outlet with no warning. Beyond licensing, FSSAI's Food Safety and Standards Regulations touch labelling, Schedule 4 hygiene requirements, and product-specific standards, each with its own compliance checklist.
Equinox Labs manages the full FSSAI compliance journey: identifying which license category applies to your business (Basic, State or Central), preparing and filing applications, checking labels against the Labelling and Display Regulations, and auditing Schedule 4 hygiene requirements ahead of an inspection.

It depends on your annual turnover: Basic Registration for small businesses under ₹12 lakh, State License for mid-sized businesses, and Central License for large manufacturers, importers and businesses operating in multiple states.
Schedule 4 lays out hygiene and sanitary requirements for food business operators, covering premises, equipment, personnel hygiene and pest control. It's one of the first things an FSSAI inspector checks.
Yes, this is one of our most requested services. Catching a labelling compliance gap before a print run is far cheaper than a reprint after an FSSAI notice.
Operating without a valid license is a compliance violation that can result in penalties or a forced shutdown. We recommend tracking renewal deadlines well in advance, something our ongoing retainer clients don't have to think about.
Basic Registration typically takes a couple of weeks; State and Central Licenses can take longer depending on documentation and inspection scheduling. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
