Heavy metalsLead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury, especially for botanicals and minerals.

MicrobiologyMicrobial counts and pathogens, per the standards that apply.

Probiotic countLive count at the end of shelf life, not only on the day of making.

Shelf lifeWill the product still meet its label on the expiry date? Plan sensitive vitamins into the formula.

How oftenFor every new product, and every six months where your licence requires it.

What platforms and buyers usually ask for.

Licence copyThe Central Licence, with the product category on it.

Label imagesFront and back, matching the listing.

Test reportsFrom a notified or NABL-accredited lab, for the batch you list.

Claims fileEvidence for each claim, ready if a platform asks.

How often must I test?

For every new product, and every six months where your licence requires it, at an FSSAI-notified or NABL-accredited lab.

Do I need to add each new product to my licence?

Your licence lists food categories. A product in a category not yet on it needs a modification before you sell.

What if my vitamin content drops over shelf life?

The product must meet its label until the expiry date. Plan for it in the formula and confirm it with testing.
