FSSAI for your business
FSSAI Licence for Amazon & Flipkart Food Sellers
Selling packaged or branded food on Amazon or Flipkart requires a valid FSSAI number — the marketplaces will not activate your food listings without it, and it must appear on every product. CAREALL confirms whether you need Basic Registration, a State Licence or a Central Licence and files it for you.

Common problems we solve
- Amazon and Flipkart block your food listings until a valid FSSAI number is uploaded and verified.
- Selling from a warehouse in one state while dispatching pan-India can push you into Central Licence territory.
- Choosing the wrong category or naming the wrong products causes catalogue rejections and account holds.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an FSSAI licence to sell food on Amazon or Flipkart?
Yes. A valid FSSAI number is mandatory to list any food product on Amazon or Flipkart, and both marketplaces verify it before activating your listings. If you ship across state lines — as most sellers on a national marketplace do — you generally need a Central Licence; if you sell only within your own state, a State Licence applies (or Basic Registration under ₹1.5 crore). CAREALL confirms the right category and files it.
Which FSSAI licence does an e-commerce food seller need?
It depends on turnover and reach. A seller under ₹1.5 crore may qualify for Basic Registration; ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore in a single state needs a State Licence; and dispatching across multiple states or crossing ₹50 crore requires a Central Licence. CAREALL reviews your operation and files the correct one for you.
