SERVICE OVERVIEW
Food compliance starts with the product and the operation
An informed regulatory plan starts with the facts of your product, activity and operating model.
Food businesses may have responsibilities across licensing, hygiene, product standards, packaging, labelling, imports and supply-chain records. Which requirements apply depends on the product, activity, premises and role in the chain.
Astronis helps map those questions into a coordinated work plan, organise the information needed for review and identify operational owners. Product formulation, safety testing and technical validation should be confirmed with the appropriate specialists.

Have another question? Contact us Food Safety & FSSAI Regulatory Advisory: common questions
Answers to help you frame an initial conversation. The applicable position should be confirmed for your circumstances.
Does every food business need the same FSSAI licence?
No. The applicable registration or licence depends on the nature and scale of the activity, premises and other relevant facts. Confirm the current eligibility criteria for each operation.
Can you review food product labels?
We can coordinate a regulatory review of label information and claims against the applicable requirements. Product specifications and technical or nutritional substantiation should be supplied and verified by the responsible specialists.
Should we review compliance before launching a new product?
Yes. Early review can identify licensing, product, packaging and labelling dependencies before launch materials and supply arrangements are finalised.
Are FSSAI approvals guaranteed within a fixed timeline?
No. Timing depends on application completeness, the applicable process and authority review. We can help prepare a work plan and track submissions and follow-up.
