FSSAI License Verification API

FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) license verification is mandatory for any business involved in food manufacturing, processing, distribution, or sale in India. Every food business operator (FBO) must hold a valid FSSAI license or registration, and displaying the 14-digit license number on packaging and establishments is a legal requirement. digiverification 's FSSAI Verification API enables businesses to validate food licenses in real-time.

Our API verifies the FSSAI license number against the FSSAI database and returns comprehensive details including the licensee name, business name, license type (basic registration, state license, or central license), address, food categories permitted, license issue date, expiry date, and current license status. This information enables businesses to confirm the legitimacy and compliance status of food businesses.

For food delivery platforms like Zomato and Swiggy, FSSAI verification is a regulatory requirement during restaurant onboarding. Platforms must ensure that all listed restaurants hold valid FSSAI licenses. Our API automates this verification, checking license validity and permitted food categories before a restaurant goes live on the platform.

Food supply chain companies — distributors, wholesalers, and retailers — use FSSAI verification for vendor compliance. Before purchasing from a supplier or allowing a vendor to supply food products, companies verify the supplier's FSSAI license to ensure they are authorized to handle the types of food products being traded.

E-commerce platforms selling food products must verify seller FSSAI licenses as part of onboarding compliance. This includes checking that the license covers the specific food categories the seller intends to list on the platform. Our API supports food category matching to automate this validation.

For food manufacturers, FSSAI verification is part of raw material sourcing compliance. Manufacturers must ensure their ingredient suppliers hold valid licenses, and this verification must be documented for FSSAI inspections and audits.

Hotels, catering services, and institutional food providers use FSSAI verification for their own compliance documentation as well as for verifying sub-contractors and suppliers in their food supply chain.

Our FSSAI API supports individual and bulk verification, making it suitable for both single-business checks and large-scale platform onboarding. Results are returned in structured JSON format with clear license status indicators.
