FSSAI Validation API
Verify an FSSAI licence number and retrieve the food business's registration details, category and validity before onboarding restaurants or sellers.
What the FSSAI Validation API does
FSSAI Validation checks a Food Safety and Standards Authority of India licence number and returns the registered business details along with the licence category and validity.
Any platform dealing with food businesses needs this. An expired or fabricated FSSAI licence is both a compliance exposure and a consumer safety issue, and both land on the platform.
Where teams use the FSSAI Validation API
Onboarding restaurants and food sellers to a marketplace
Confirming licence validity before listing a food business
Periodic re-verification of licences across a merchant base
Checking licence category matches the activity claimed
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What do the licence categories mean?
FSSAI issues basic registration, state licences and central licences depending on turnover and scale. The category should match the size of the operation claimed.
How do I handle expiry?
The response carries validity dates. Re-verify before expiry rather than after, since a lapsed licence means the business should not be trading.
Does it confirm the address?
Registered premises details come back with the record and can be compared against what the merchant declared.
