FSSAI Modification
Update your FSSAI licence for address change, product addition, or business detail corrections.
FSSAI Modification updates an existing registration or licence when business details change - address, products, partners, capacity, or entity name. FoSCoS provides modification for permitted changes; fundamental category changes may require a fresh application. Some changes trigger re-inspection and differential fees. Complianceer assesses modification vs fresh filing, prepares documents, and files on FoSCoS.

FAQs
How do I change my FSSAI registered address?
File a modification application on FoSCoS portal with proof of new premises. Manufacturing address changes require re-inspection. Display updated FSSAI number at new premises immediately upon modification approval.
Can I add new food products to my existing FSSAI licence?
Yes, through Form B modification. Add product categories in the Food Category System, update FSMS plan to cover new products, and pay modification fee. High-risk product additions (meat, dairy) may trigger inspection.
What is the process to upgrade from Basic Registration to State Licence?
File Form B application on FoSCoS selecting upgrade option. Your remaining registration period may be credited. Submit FSMS plan, layout plan, and pay State licence fee difference. Inspection is mandatory for upgrade to State manufacturing licence.
