FSSAI License for Swiggy and Zomato Onboarding: Mandatory 14-Digit Number Display, Packaging Rules, and Hygiene Ratings

FSSAI Compliance for Food Delivery Aggregators in Pune

Leading food delivery platforms—including Swiggy, Zomato, and Magicpin—are governed by strict e-commerce food safety guidelines issued by the FSSAI. Aggregators cannot list any restaurant, cafe, or cloud kitchen without a verified 14-digit FSSAI license or registration certificate.

For foundational guidance, review our complete FSSAI food license guide or engage our food licensing consultants.

Mandatory Requirements for Online Food Platform Onboarding:

• Active 14-Digit FSSAI License/Registration: The name on the FSSAI certificate must match the merchant entity name exactly.
• Mandatory Profile Display: Aggregators must display the restaurant’s 14-digit FSSAI number and hygiene rating badge on the live customer ordering menu.
• Tamper-Evident Packaging: Food deliveries must use secure, tamper-evident seals and food-grade packaging materials. (See our packaging regulations guide).
• Zero Expiry Policy: Delivery platforms automatically deactivate merchant listings 30 days before FSSAI license expiry if renewal is not completed. (Review renewal timelines).
