Proprietary Food PSARA License

PSARA refers to Proprietary food products regulated under FSSAI regulations. Any food product with a unique formulation that doesn't fall under standard food categories needs PSARA compliance. This includes nutraceuticals, health supplements, herbal food products, and proprietary Ayurvedic food items. The license ensures your product is safe for consumption and meets FSSAI standards.

PSARA is a specialized compliance under FSSAI for proprietary formulations. While a regular FSSAI license covers standard food products, proprietary products with unique formulations need additional scrutiny of ingredients, safety data, and labeling. You need both — FSSAI license for your business and PSARA compliance for each proprietary product.

PSARA approval typically takes 15-30 days depending on the complexity of the formulation and completeness of documentation. Products with novel ingredients may require additional testing or review. We ensure all documentation is complete to avoid delays.

No, selling proprietary food products or supplements online without PSARA compliance is illegal. E-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart require FSSAI license with proper product compliance. Health claims on labels must be substantiated. We ensure your product is fully compliant before market launch.

FSSAI prohibits certain substances in proprietary food including pharmaceutical drugs, undeclared additives, excessive levels of certain vitamins/minerals, and ingredients not approved for food use. We review your complete formulation to ensure all ingredients are FSSAI-compliant before filing.

For PSARA compliance, you need: FSSAI license, product formulation details with ingredient sources, safety test reports from NABL-accredited labs, label artwork and claims substantiation, manufacturing process documentation, and raw material specifications. We provide a complete document checklist and help coordinate lab testing.

Yes, each unique formulation or product variant needs separate PSARA compliance. For example, if you have a protein supplement in 3 flavors with different formulations, each needs individual approval. However, minor variations like packaging sizes of the same formulation may not require separate approval. We help you understand which variants need separate filings.
