Whether you sell through marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart or through your own website, FSSAI compliance is mandatory.<\/p>\n<h3>License Category for Online Sellers<\/h3>\n<p>Packaged food sellers on e-commerce platforms typically need at least a State License. Multi-state sellers who ship across India often require a Central License. Basic Registration is usually insufficient for online sellers due to the multi-state nature of e-commerce.<\/p>\n<h3>Platform Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>Marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart and JioMart require sellers to provide a valid FSSAI license number during onboarding. Without it, you cannot list food products on these platforms.<\/p>\n<h3>Labelling for E-Commerce<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>All mandatory label elements must be on the product packaging<\/li>\n<li>The FSSAI license number must match the one used for platform registration<\/li>\n<li>Product images on the listing must clearly show the FSSAI logo and number<\/li>\n<li>Nutritional information and ingredient lists must be accurate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Common Compliance Gaps<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Using a Basic Registration when a State License is required<\/li>\n<li>License number on packaging does not match the platform listing<\/li>\n<li>Missing or incorrect nutritional information<\/li>\n<li>Expired license not renewed before listing goes live<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selling food on Amazon, Flipkart, JioMart or your own website?
