Purpose of the Annual Food Business Return

The Annual Food Business Return ensures that food businesses adhere to FSSAI regulations and maintain transparency in their operations.

By submitting the annual return, businesses provide essential information to the FSSAI concerning their operations, encompassing food products' production, handling, storage, and distribution. Food business operators should acknowledge the importance of this annual return and ensure its timely submission. Failure to adhere to this requirement may result in penalties or, in more severe cases, the suspension of the FSSAI license, posing a risk to the business's ongoing operations.
