The Indian government has imposed a complete lockdown till 3rd May 2020 in order to contain the spread of Coronavirus infection.

Many food business operators (FBOs) have now come to a halt due to the lockdown. They are currently not able to fulfill their regular compliance. Many of the FBOs having FSSAI registration or food license ar not able to renew their FSSAI licenses or FSSAI registration certificates.
