Following the FSSAI FoSCoS registration procedure, any registered Food Business Operator (FBO) can change, alter, or modify any given information in the Food License issued by the authority. This particular process is known as the FSSAI Modification.
The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 of the Indian Govt. oversees the FSSAI Modification process under the supervision of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) authority.
FSSAI Modification is applicable only for the existing Food License holders. In case of cancellation of the same, an FBO is obliged to apply again after 3 months.
In case of a change in ownership, the FBO is mandated to file an FSSAI Food License Modification too. Along with that, the FBO will need to follow the Company Registration procedure as well.
