FSSAI launched Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS) in 2020, which is an enhanced version of the Food Licensing and Registration System (FLRS), for issuance of FSSAI licenses and registration pan-India. FoSCoS is built using latest technology with a vision to have a modern one stop pan-India IT platform for engagement of FBO with the department for any regulatory compliance related activities. It has been developed with informative user interfaces, wherein the information regarding Standardized Food Products, Eligibility Criteria, and Documents required for licensing and other resource materials may be easily accessed.
