For any business importing food products from India, seeing the FSSAI logo is a fundamental mark of trust and safety. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the governing body that sets the scientific standards for food articles and regulates their manufacture, storage, distribution, sale, and import to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption. For spices, this certification is non-negotiable.

What Does FSSAI Certification Guarantee?

  • Hygiene and Sanitation: The processing and packaging facilities adhere to strict hygiene protocols to prevent contamination.
  • Adulterant-Free: FSSAI standards include testing for common adulterants, ensuring the purity of the spice.
  • Permissible Limits: The certification ensures that any incidental contaminants, toxins, or heavy metals are well below the maximum permissible limits set by law.
  • Proper Labeling: The product is labeled according to strict guidelines, providing accurate information about ingredients and nutritional content.
  • Traceability: A valid FSSAI license ensures that the product can be traced back through the supply chain.

When you source from an FSSAI-certified spice exporter like VB Exports, you are not just buying a product; you are buying an assurance of safety and quality that is recognized globally. It simplifies the import process and provides your customers with the confidence they deserve.
