Food Safety in Retail Inventory – FSSAI Basics

Shops selling food must follow basic food safety norms.

Part of our inventory management guide.

FSSAI Licence

Required for food businesses. FSSAI registration (for small) or licence. Display at shop. Valid for 1–5 years.

Storage

Store food away from moisture, pests, sunlight. Packaged food – check seals. Loose items – clean containers. FIFO to reduce expiry wastage.

Expiry Tracking

Never sell expired food. It’s illegal and harms trust. Track batches. Remove expired items. Use Expiry Countdown to plan.

Recalls

If a batch is recalled, pull it immediately. Keep purchase records to trace batches.
