Notice & show-cause replies.
A notice gives you days, not weeks — thirty, or seven where an earlier letter went unanswered. An ignored notice becomes a prohibition order.

What’s at stakeIgnoring a notice can lead to a direction to stop selling (s.36(3)(b) with s.18(1)); an unmet improvement notice can lead to suspension (s.32).
Where the rule comes from
FSS Act 2006 — s.32 improvement notices, s.36 and s.18
FSS (Advertising & Claims) Regulations 2018
We quote the regulation behind every requirement. Where FSSAI has not said something clearly, we tell you it is our advice, not the law.

Common questions
How long do I have to reply?
Usually thirty days — seven where an earlier notice went unanswered. Don’t wait for the deadline to start.
Can I keep selling while I reply?
It depends on the notice. A prohibition direction means stop; a show-cause letter asks you to answer. We read yours and tell you.
Do I have to recall?
Not always. It depends on the finding. We tell you what the notice actually requires.
