FSSAI Licence for Nutraceuticals & Health Supplements

Manufacturers of nutraceuticals, health supplements, protein and functional foods usually need an FSSAI Central Licence, because they are a special notified category rather than ordinary food. This often applies regardless of turnover and involves extra checks on ingredients and labelling. CAREALL confirms your exact category before filing for you.

Generally no. Nutraceuticals and health supplements are treated as a special regulated category, so a Basic Registration or a standard State Licence is usually not sufficient for manufacturing. Most such businesses require a Central Licence with product-level compliance. CAREALL assesses your products and turnover, then prepares and files the correct application to issuance.

CAREALL identifies whether your product falls under nutraceuticals, health supplements or functional foods, assembles the required documents, ingredient and formulation details, and label review, and files your Central Licence application for you. We are a consultancy, not the government; the licence is issued by FSSAI. We track the application through to issuance.
