FSSAI for Bar & Beverages

FSSAI for Bar & Beverages

FSSAI Food License is a mandatory license for all FBOs willing to operate bar and beverage centers successfully without facing any legal hindrance. Depending on the turnover in one year, a bar owner must get an FSSAI License for their bars from the Central or State Licensing Authority. 

 

On the other side, beverage refers to every type of liquid, which intends to quench our thirst. These include water, juice, milk, soft drinks, beer, coffee, tea, and similar others. Hence, manufacturing and trading of beverage items require a compulsory FSSAI registration followed by a food license from the FSSAI of India. 


Similar to bar owners, beverage manufacturers and traders must meet the key requirements related to an online FSSAI registration and get anyone from the basic, state, or central license. Without an FSSAI license, neither bar owners nor the beverage traders/manufacturers get the right to run their bars or beverage units in India.
