Overview

What the FSSAI Licence Verification API does

A food licence number printed on a menu or packaging can be expired, suspended or belong to someone else. The FSSAI Licence Verification API checks it against the food safety authority and returns the licensed business and validity period, so every restaurant, kitchen and supplier on your platform is legally permitted to handle food.

Expiry dates let you re-verify ahead of lapse and keep listings compliant without a manual audit.
