E-commerce compliance.

The outcome

A platform — or a listing — that meets FSSAI’s rules for selling food online.

What’s at stakeSelling online is Central-licensed at any turnover (total yearly sales), and the platform asks for the number before it lists you. A listing carrying a licence that does not cover e-commerce is trading outside the licence — section 63 runs to 6 months and ₹5 lakh.

FAQ

Common questions

I sell on Amazon. Do I need my own licence?

Yes — for what you actually do: make, pack, store or trade. The platform’s licence doesn’t cover you.

Does selling on Instagram count?

If you sell food, you need a licence or registration for what you do — whatever the channel.
