About this API

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 emver 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.

Typical uses

Food delivery platforms. License check at restaurant onboarding and renewal.
Cloud kitchens and franchises. Verify each outlet's licence before go-live.
FMCG and distribution. Confirm distributors and retailers are licensed to handle food products.
Corporate cafeteria and hospitality vendors. Compliance for caterers and canteen operators.

Questions

Does it cover both registrations and licences?: Yes. Basic registrations, state licences and central licences all resolve through the same API.
Can I automate renewals?: Use the validity date to schedule a re-verification; emver workflows can raise a reminder to the partner ahead of expiry.
