What is Food License Auditing?

Food license auditing involves a thorough review of a business’s operations, documentation, and practices to ensure compliance with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations. The audit ensures that all requirements for obtaining or renewing a food license are met, allowing the business to legally operate in the food industry.

• Accurate Documentation:   Ensures all required documents for the food license application or renewal are complete and accurate.
• Efficient License Processing:   Helps streamline the food license application or renewal process, reducing delays and risks of rejection.
