FSSAI Food Labeling Requirements: The Complete 2026 Checklist

Packaging and labeling are the first points of interaction between your product and the consumer—and the FSSAI inspector. Under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, every declaration has a specific font size, placement, and format requirement.

Mandatory Declarations Checklist

• Ingredient List: In descending order of weight or volume.
• Nutritional Info: Per 100g/100ml and per serve.
• Veg/Non-Veg Logo: Specific dimensions based on pack size.
• FSSAI Logo & License Number: Must be in contrast with the background.
• Net Quantity: With appropriate unit symbols (g, kg, ml, l).
• Best Before/Use By Date: Clear format (DD/MM/YY).
