What’s at stakeTest reports are among the first records asked for, and Schedule 4 (FSSAI’s hygiene rules) expects them for your kind of business (the category you register under). Reports that do not exist on the day cannot be produced afterwards — that is a finding against a licence condition, and an improvement notice with a deadline follows (s.32).
Where the rule comes from
Schedule 2, Annexure 3, condition 12 — testing at least once in six months

Pass, fail, or borderline — and what to do.
The mistakes we see most.
A report that doesn’t cover the category’s standard doesn’t prove compliance.
Use an FSSAI-notified or NABL-accredited lab.
