Ayurveda Aahara.
Ayurveda Aahara products are foods made to recipes from the classical texts. The category decides whether you need prior approval, and the label carries more than an ordinary food’s.
The right Ayurveda Aahara category — so you take the short route where the law allows one.
What’s at stakeRegulation 8 forbids disease claims whatever the classical text says — a claim is a misleading-advertisement exposure (s.53).
Where the rule comes from
FSS (Ayurveda Aahara) Regulations 2022
FSSAI order of 25.07.2025 — category A list
We quote the regulation behind every requirement. Where FSSAI hasn’t specified something, we tell you it’s our reading, not the law.
You need this if…
- Traditional recipes — pana, lehya, churna-style foods
- Brands moving an Ayurvedic product into the food route
Exactly what you’re paying for.
Included
- Category A, B, B1 or B2 decision
- Check against FSSAI’s published category A list
- Composition check — no added vitamins, minerals or amino acids
- Label review for the six extra items
Not included
- Safety studies for category B products
Anything outside scope is quoted in writing before we do it.
Who does what, in order.
Most of the work is ours. Where something needs you, it says so.

Common questions
If my product isn’t on the list, is it category B?
Not necessarily. A recipe from a Schedule A text can be category A without being on the list — the route is a request for inclusion, not a safety dossier.
Is Ayurveda Aahara a drug?
No. It’s a food under FSSAI’s Ayurveda Aahara Regulations 2022 — which is why disease claims are not allowed.
Often needed alongside.
