Common Questions from Assam Founders
Q. Can I run a cloud kitchen from home in Guwahati with FSSAI?
Yes. Home-based kitchens can obtain an FSSAI Basic Registration or State License, provided the preparation area meets food safety and sanitary standards.
Q. Is FSSAI mandatory for tea packaging units in Assam?
Yes. Tea is classified as a beverage under FSSAI regulations. Processing, blending, or retail packaging of tea strictly mandates a valid FSSAI State or Central license.

You can apply for FSSAI validity ranging from 1 to 5 years. Selecting a 5-year tenure saves annual administrative renewal hassles.
