FSSAI for your business
FSSAI Registration for Home Kitchen & Home Bakers
A home-based food business — home baking, tiffin service, homemade pickles, snacks or cloud-baking — legally needs an FSSAI number, even from a home kitchen. Under ₹1.5 crore annual turnover, the correct category is Basic Registration, and CAREALL files it for you.

Common problems we solve
- Many home food sellers do not realise FSSAI is mandatory — until a platform or customer asks.
- Instagram, WhatsApp and marketplace selling still require an FSSAI number.
- The right proof-of-premises for a home address trips up DIY applications.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an FSSAI licence for a home food business?
Yes. Any business that makes or sells food — including home bakers, tiffin services and homemade-snack sellers — needs an FSSAI number. Under ₹1.5 crore turnover the correct category is FSSAI Basic Registration.
Can I sell homemade food on Instagram without FSSAI?
No. Selling food online, including via Instagram or WhatsApp, still requires a valid FSSAI registration. It also builds customer trust to display your FSSAI number.
