Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I ignore an FSSAI consumer grievance?

Ignoring FSSAI consumer grievances can lead to: escalation to formal complaint, FSSAI inspection of your premises, show cause notice, license suspension, financial penalties, and in severe cases, prosecution. Always respond promptly.

How long do I have to respond to an FSSAI grievance?

FSSAI typically gives 15–30 days to respond to a consumer grievance. We recommend responding within 7–10 days to show proactive compliance.

Can a consumer's false complaint affect my FSSAI license?

Even false complaints need to be professionally addressed. FSSAI will verify the complaint, but an unaddressed or poorly handled response can still lead to action. We help you present your case effectively to protect your license.

What types of complaints are filed on FSSAI grievance portal?

Common complaints include: foreign material in food, substandard quality, wrong labeling, expired products, unhygienic conditions, misleading claims, and adulteration allegations.

Can you help if FSSAI has already issued a show-cause notice?

Yes. We handle consumer grievances at all stages — from initial complaint response to show-cause notice replies and appeal hearings. The sooner you contact us, the better we can help.
