FSSAI Packaging & Labelling Requirements in India

A practical starting checklist for food packaging under the current FSSAI packaging and labelling framework.

Food packaging formats reviewed for FSSAI packaging and labelling requirements

A practical starting checklist for food packaging under the current FSSAI packaging and labelling framework.

The short answer

Food businesses need to consider both the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging) Regulations, 2018 and the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020, together with current amendments and product-specific rules. Packaging suitability and label content must be checked for the actual food and sales channel.

What drives the decision

→Food-contact material must be suitable for the product and intended conditions of use.
→Required declarations vary by product, pack size and retail or non-retail use.
→Ingredients, allergens, nutrition, dates, batch information, veg/non-veg mark and licence details may apply.
→Claims and product names must match the applicable standards.

A better buying approach

→Use the current FSSAI regulation compendia, not an old artwork checklist.
→Obtain relevant material and migration documentation from the packaging route.
→Have regulatory counsel or a qualified food labelling reviewer approve final artwork.
→Maintain version control for every approved SKU.

Before you place the order

1Identify the product category and applicable standard.
2Confirm food-contact packaging suitability.
3Prepare mandatory declarations and legibility checks.
4Verify barcode, MRP and Legal Metrology requirements where applicable.
5Approve final print proof before production.

Important

FSSAI updates and product-specific directions can change. This guide is operational guidance, not legal advice; verify the current regulations and amendments on fssai.gov.in before printing.
