How to Modify FSSAI Registration Details Online

When you run a food business in India, there are times when you may need to update the details of your FSSAI registration or license. Whether it's a change in your business location, ownership, or the addition of a new product line, keeping your FSSAI details accurate is both a regulatory requirement and a good business practice. Fortunately, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) allows you to modify FSSAI registration details online through the FoSCoS portal. Here’s how you can do it step by step.

When Do You Need to Modify Your FSSAI Registration?

Modifying your FSSAI registration or license is necessary when there are changes to any of the details provided during the initial registration or licensing process. Common reasons include:

• Business address change: Shifting your food business to a new location.
• Ownership change: Transfer of ownership or changes in partnership.
• Product addition or removal: Expanding your menu or discontinuing certain items.
• Business structure change: Moving from a sole proprietorship to an LLP, or similar changes.
• Contact detail updates: Updating phone numbers or email addresses for official communication.

Failure to update these details can result in penalties, so it’s better to handle modifications promptly.

   • If you don’t have an account yet, you’ll need to create one using your FSSAI license or registration number.

Step 4: Fill Out the Modification Form

1. Update the relevant fields in the modification form as per your requirements.
2. Double-check all entered details for accuracy. Incorrect information could lead to delays or rejection of your application.

Step 5: Pay the Applicable Fees

Step 7: Track Your Application Status

1. Use the reference number to check the status of your application on the FoSCoS portal.
2. The authority may ask for additional documents or clarifications, so monitor the status regularly.

Step 8: Approval and Issuance of Modified License

Once your application is reviewed and approved, the modified FSSAI license or registration certificate will be issued. You can download this directly from the FoSCoS portal.

What Documents Will You Need?

The exact documents required depend on the type of modification. Some commonly requested documents include:

• Proof of updated business address (e.g., rental agreement, electricity bill).
• Ownership transfer documents like an NOC or a sale deed.
• Updated food safety management plan if new products are being added.
• Identity and address proof of the new owner (if applicable).
• Any other documents as specified in the FoSCoS portal for your case.

Always ensure that all uploaded documents are clear and legible to avoid delays. If you’re unsure about the exact requirements, you can check out the Modification guides for more specific details.
