Overview of FSSAI Compliance Testing

Tested by: NABL-accredited partner lab
Regulation: FSS Act 2006 & licence conditions
Typical turnaround: 7–10 working days
Sample needed: 1 kg or 3 retail packs

FSSAI licence conditions require food manufacturers to have their products tested periodically in an FSSAI-notified, NABL-accredited lab and to upload the reports on FoSCoS. The test covers the quality parameters in the product’s standard together with the contaminants, toxins, residues and microbiological limits that apply to it.

We map each of your products to its FSSAI category and standard, so the lab tests the complete parameter list rather than a partial one. The same report is used for retailer and e-commerce onboarding, government tenders and export documents. Products without an FSSAI standard are tested for safety parameters, and may need product approval before launch.

Frequently asked questions

How often do products need to be tested?

Licence holders are expected to test at the frequency their licence conditions set, commonly every six months, and to upload reports on FoSCoS. We help you build a calendar so that every product category is covered on time.

What if my product has no FSSAI standard?

It is a non-specified or proprietary food. It is tested for safety parameters and must use only permitted ingredients and additives; some products need FSSAI product approval first.

Will FSSAI and buyers accept the report?

Tests are done in labs accredited by NABL for the parameters reported, and for regulatory use in FSSAI-notified labs, which is what FSSAI, food safety officers and most buyers expect. For export, we match the lab to the importing country’s or buyer’s requirement.

Who carries out the testing?

Instacertify’s partner laboratories, accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025 for the parameters on your report. We choose the lab, arrange the sample, follow up until the report is issued and explain the results to you.
