Sound familiar?

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

These are the exact sentences we hear on first calls. If two or three of them ring true, dcomply is the workspace you have been trying to build in a spreadsheet.

Your FSSAI licence renewal was almost missed last cycle.

Annual return preparation is manual across multiple locations.

You have no formal product recall workflow.

Hygiene rating audit prep is annual chaos.

If you sell food online through your own site or a marketplace, the E-commerce door covers Consumer Protection Rules alongside FSSAI.

Your regulator stack

Here's what sits above the foundation.

Customer consent, retention on order history, marketing preferences for HORECA loyalty.
Legal Metrology (packaging)

FSSAI (central)
The foundation. Licence categories (Basic / State / Central), annual return, recall procedure, hygiene rating, packaging & labelling rules.
The Problem

FSSAI Violations Can Shut Your Business Down

Non-compliance with FSSAI regulations leads to license cancellation, fines up to ₹10 lakh, and criminal prosecution

Missed Renewal Deadlines

FSSAI licenses expire silently, manual tracking on spreadsheets leads to lapses, fines, and business shutdowns

Audit Unpreparedness

FSSAI inspections require immediate access to hygiene records, test reports, and documentation, most businesses scramble

Multi-Location Complexity

Businesses with multiple outlets have different licenses, different expiry dates, and different compliance states, impossible to track manually

FSSAI compliance FAQs

Questions FBOs actually ask.

Every Food Business Operator (FBO) in India. Category depends on turnover and scale: Basic registration (turnover up to ₹12 lakh/year), State licence (₹12 lakh to ₹20 crore), Central licence (over ₹20 crore or operating in multiple states, food imports, e-commerce, catering to Central Government, etc.). Applies to manufacturers, packers, transporters, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, hotels and cloud kitchens.

Every FBO with a State or Central licence and turnover over ₹12 lakh must file an annual return: Form D1 for manufacturers/importers/labellers/re-labellers/re-packers (by 31 May), and Form D2 for milk/milk-product exclusively-dairy businesses (half-yearly, 30 April and 31 October). Non-filing attracts ₹100/day penalty (max ₹5,000). dcomply auto-generates from production data.

FSSAI Food Safety and Standards (Food Recall Procedure) Regulations 2017 require every food business to have a documented recall plan covering: recall categories (Class I/II/III), notification to FSSAI within 24 hours of a Class I recall, communication to consumers, tracking of recalled stock, disposal, and post-recall analysis. dcomply's recall module operationalises all six steps.

Every FBO with 25+ food handlers must have a certified Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) trained under the FoSTaC (Food Safety Training and Certification) programme. Certification is valid for 2 years and must be renewed. dcomply tracks FSS certification, renewal dates and hazard-based training records.

A voluntary star rating (1 to 5 stars) awarded after audit by a FSSAI-empanelled third-party auditor. Displayed at the point of sale. Higher rating enables premium marketing and preferred selection by aggregators (Zomato, Swiggy). dcomply's Hygiene Rating module prepares evidence, tracks the audit checklist and stores certificate.

FSSAI Packaging and Labelling Regulations 2011 (updated multiple times) require: FSSAI licence number on every package, ingredient list, nutritional information per 100g/100ml, allergen declarations, veg/non-veg symbol, manufacturing date, best-before date, batch number, MRP, net quantity, and country of origin. Non-compliance attracts fine up to ₹10 lakh plus product seizure. dcomply's labelling module validates every label before print.
