FSSAI registration & food licence in Surat
Surat's food economy is built around scale. Thousands of caterers and mess kitchens feed the diamond-polishing units and textile mills daily, while the city is nationally loved for Surti khaman, locho, ghari and a dense farsan and namkeen trade. Add the growing restaurant, bakery and packaged-food scene, and it becomes clear why an FSSAI registration or licence is the non-negotiable first step for anyone handling food here.
Which tier you fall in is set by annual turnover: Basic Registration up to ₹1.5 crore, a State Licence from ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore inside Gujarat, and a Central Licence above ₹50 crore or for importers, exporters, e-commerce sellers and multi-state operators. Gujarat's Commissioner of Food Safety issues the licence and the Surat district Designated Officer oversees local compliance. CAREALL prepares the documents, handles the filing and coordinates everything with you over WhatsApp.
Which FSSAI licence do you need in Surat?
Your category depends on annual turnover and scale. Most food businesses in Surat fall under a Basic Registration or a State Licence; large, multi-state, import/export or e-commerce-operator businesses need a Central Licence. The licence is administered by the Commissioner of Food Safety, Gujarat, with your local Designated Officer at the Surat food-safety office — but the entire process is handled online, and CAREALL files it for you remotely.

FSSAI in Surat — FAQs
I run a catering business for factory workers in Surat — which licence do I need?
It depends on turnover. Up to ₹1.5 crore a year you qualify for Basic Registration; between ₹1.5 crore and ₹50 crore within Gujarat you need a State Licence. Large multi-unit caterers crossing ₹50 crore or supplying across states move to a Central Licence. CAREALL reviews your scale and files the right category.
How long does FSSAI take for a Surat food business?
Basic Registration is usually the quickest, while State and Central Licences take longer because the Designated Officer reviews the application and may seek clarifications. CAREALL cannot guarantee a fixed date, but filing a complete, correct application the first time is the best way to avoid delays and queries.
Can CAREALL file my Surat FSSAI application without me leaving my shop?
Yes. The entire process is remote — you send scans or photos of your documents on WhatsApp and we handle the filing. Surat's Designated Officer processes the application online, so you never have to shut your shop to visit an office.
