What it is and how we handle it

Traders handle food they did not make, so FSSAI's focus is on storage, temperature control, pest control and traceability — knowing which supplier each batch came from and to whom it was sold.

Warehouses and cold storages need FSSAI coverage for the storage activity. Distributors of branded products should check that every supplier's licence covers the products they buy, because selling unlicensed or misbranded food exposes the distributor too.

Unlike manufacturers and importers, pure traders, distributors, wholesalers and retailers generally do not file the D-1 annual return, but the annual fee must still be paid.
