FSSAI registration & food licence in Thiruvananthapuram
As Kerala's capital, Thiruvananthapuram blends a strong government and institutional catering base with a coastal food culture and a growing tourism trade around Kovalam and the beaches. Traditional sadhya caterers, banana-chip and jackfruit-product makers, seafood traders and a steady stream of new restaurants and cafes all operate here. Under the Food Safety and Standards Act, each of them — however small — must hold an FSSAI number to prepare or sell food.
Your tier depends on turnover and reach: Basic Registration up to ₹1.5 crore, a State Licence from ₹1.5 to 50 crore within Kerala, and a Central Licence above ₹50 crore or for importers and exporters. Applications in the capital fall under the Thiruvananthapuram district Designated Officer and the Kerala Commissioner of Food Safety. CAREALL works out the correct category, prepares your documents and files the application end-to-end for you, coordinating entirely over WhatsApp so you never need to visit an office.
Which FSSAI licence do you need in Thiruvananthapuram?
Your category depends on annual turnover and scale. Most food businesses in Thiruvananthapuram 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, Kerala, with your local Designated Officer at the Thiruvananthapuram food-safety office — but the entire process is handled online, and CAREALL files it for you remotely.

FSSAI in Thiruvananthapuram — FAQs
Does a sadhya or event caterer in Thiruvananthapuram need FSSAI?
Yes. Catering is a food business under the Food Safety and Standards Act, so a caterer needs at least a Basic Registration, moving to a State Licence as turnover grows past ₹1.5 crore. Event clients and venues increasingly ask for the FSSAI number before booking, so it is worth having in place.
Can I get FSSAI in Thiruvananthapuram without visiting an office?
Yes. CAREALL files your application entirely online for you. You send your documents over WhatsApp, we prepare and submit everything within the Thiruvananthapuram Designated Officer's jurisdiction, and updates come to you digitally.
Do FSSAI licences in Kerala expire and need renewal?
No. Under the current perpetual-licensing system there is no fixed term or renewal for FSSAI registrations and licences. They stay valid as long as the annual fee is paid on time, and CAREALL can track that date so your licence never lapses.
