FSSAI registration & food licence in Visakhapatnam (Vizag)
Visakhapatnam is a port and industrial city with a distinctly coastal food identity. Its fisheries and seafood-export businesses, fiery Andhra-meals and biryani restaurants, avakaya and pickle makers, steel-township and port canteens, plus a rising tide of cafes and cloud kitchens, are all regulated under the Food Safety and Standards Act. Any business that stores, processes, serves or sells food in Vizag must hold a current FSSAI registration or licence.
Your category is set by turnover. Up to ₹1.5 crore a year it is Basic Registration; from ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore within Andhra Pradesh it is a State Licence; above ₹50 crore — and for all importers, exporters, e-commerce sellers and multi-state operators — it is a Central Licence. Given Vizag's export trade, many seafood businesses fall in the Central tier. The Andhra Pradesh Commissioner of Food Safety issues the licence, with the Visakhapatnam Designated Officer handling local oversight, and CAREALL runs the full filing over WhatsApp.
Which FSSAI licence do you need in Visakhapatnam (Vizag)?
Your category depends on annual turnover and scale. Most food businesses in Visakhapatnam (Vizag) 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, Andhra Pradesh, with your local Designated Officer at the Visakhapatnam food-safety office — but the entire process is handled online, and CAREALL files it for you remotely.

FSSAI in Visakhapatnam (Vizag) — FAQs
I export seafood from Vizag — which FSSAI licence do I need?
Exporters require a Central Licence regardless of turnover, as it is mandatory for import and export operations. CAREALL prepares the Central application with the documentation exporters typically need. Note that we prepare and file the application — the licence itself is granted by the food safety authority.
Do I need to visit the Visakhapatnam food safety office?
No. CAREALL handles the process remotely — you send your documents on WhatsApp and we file for you. The Visakhapatnam Designated Officer processes the application online, so there is no in-person visit required from you.
Which licence does a Vizag cloud kitchen listed on delivery apps need?
Selling through e-commerce platforms such as Swiggy or Zomato generally requires a Central Licence. A cloud kitchen that only sells directly and stays under ₹1.5 crore can start with Basic Registration. CAREALL checks your platforms and turnover and files the correct tier.
