Who this is for
Why FSSAI Relabeller Compliance Matters
A relabeller is not simply a marketer of food products. Under FSSAI's licensing framework, a relabeller is treated as a deemed manufacturer and has defined responsibilities for products manufactured or packed through third-party facilities. Proper licensing, manufacturer documentation, product endorsements, labelling, recall/traceability and periodic compliance are therefore essential.

We assist businesses with the applicable FSSAI licensing and compliance activities through the FoSCoS platform, including new licence applications, modifications, renewals, manufacturer-related documentation and annual return filing.

Who Can Apply as a Relabeller?
Businesses that market food products manufactured or packed through third-party FSSAI-licensed facilities may require an appropriate Relabeller Kind of Business under the FSSAI licensing framework. The specific licensing requirement depends on the business model, products and applicable regulations.
FSSAI Annual Return Filing
Manufacturers, including repackers and relabellers, and applicable importers are required to submit annual returns through FoSCoS. The current FSSAI advisory specifies 31 May as the deadline without penalty.
