FSSAI for your business
FSSAI Licence for Food Trucks
A food truck or mobile food cart is a food business under the FSS Act and must hold a valid FSSAI licence, with the certificate displayed on the vehicle at all times. CAREALL confirms whether you need Basic Registration or a State Licence and files it for you, registering the vehicle correctly as a mobile unit.

Common problems we solve
- The FSSAI certificate must be physically displayed on the truck, and inspectors check for it during operation.
- A mobile unit must be registered against the vehicle correctly, or the application is rejected.
- Trading across state borders or on multiple routes can push you into a different licence category.
Frequently asked questions
Which FSSAI licence does a food truck need?
Most food trucks operating in a single state under ₹1.5 crore turnover need only an FSSAI Basic Registration. A State Licence applies once turnover is between ₹1.5 crore and ₹50 crore, while trucks running across multiple states need a Central Licence. CAREALL confirms the right category before filing for you.
Does a food truck have to display the FSSAI licence?
Yes. A food truck must display its FSSAI licence or registration certificate prominently on the vehicle at all times during operation, so customers and inspectors can see it. The licence is registered as a mobile unit against the vehicle. CAREALL prepares the application correctly so the certificate is issued in a form you can display.
How do I register a mobile food unit with FSSAI?
A mobile food unit is registered for you as a food business, linked to the vehicle rather than a fixed premises. You supply identity, address and vehicle details plus a food product list. CAREALL prepares your documents, files the application and tracks it to issuance.
