FSSAI for your business
FSSAI Licence for Sweet Shops (Mithai & Namkeen)
A sweet shop selling mithai, namkeen, snacks and dairy-based sweets must display a valid FSSAI number and declare each product category correctly on its licence. CAREALL confirms whether you need Basic Registration or a State Licence, captures your full product range, and files the application for you, tracking it to issuance.

Common problems we solve
- Milk-based sweets are perishable, so inspectors scrutinise storage and product declarations closely.
- A single counter often sells sweets, namkeen and packed snacks — every category must be listed on the licence.
- Festival-season turnover spikes can push you past ₹1.5 crore, requiring a State Licence rather than Basic Registration.
Frequently asked questions
Which FSSAI licence does a sweet shop need?
Most sweet shops under ₹1.5 crore turnover need only an FSSAI Basic Registration. A State Licence applies once counter sales cross ₹1.5 crore up to ₹50 crore in a single state, and a shop operating across more than one state needs a Central Licence. CAREALL reviews your turnover and product range, then files the correct category for you.
Do I need to list mithai and namkeen separately on the licence?
Yes. Your FSSAI licence must declare every food category you sell — milk-based sweets, sugar confectionery, namkeen and packaged snacks each fall under distinct product headings. Missing a category can cause rejections or compliance issues later. CAREALL captures your complete range before filing so your licence covers everything on your counter.
Is displaying the FSSAI number compulsory in a sweet shop?
Yes. Once your FSSAI licence or registration is issued, the number must be displayed prominently at the shop and on any packaging or bills. Selling mithai and namkeen without a valid, displayed FSSAI number can attract penalties under the food safety law. CAREALL files your application and tracks it to issuance so you can display it.
