The FSSAI registration dealing with vegan foods in Bihar is handled by FSSAI of India or more commonly known as Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. Vegancert requires businesses to complete an application and send relevant documents like ID and address, and a declaration that the company’s products are vegan. The FSSAI assesses such applications in order to ascertain whether or not they meet the criteria of vegan before issuing them with a registration certificate. It reaffirms whether the products are vegan, guarantees the quality and safety of products, and gains consumers’ trust, which will help to enter the identified markets and comply with Bihar’s legislation on food. Hence, the business has to apply for the vegan registration and required documents to adhere to the FSSAI rules of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. It is almost imperative for organizations to offer or manufacture vegan commodities and make the same compliant with the set regulations.
According to the FSSAI, ‘vegan food’ has been categorized as a broad spectrum of various foods, food ingredients and additives, flavoring agents, enzymes, carriers and processing aids used in the process of food manufacturing. These items must not incorporate any animal product at the moment of production and processing in accordance with veganism. Basically, veganism is known to be an ethical way of living where people avoid the use of animals and animal-derived products. The FSSAI makes sure that vegan food does not contain any ingredient that is derived from animals which helps in sustaining the principles of veganism and the philosophy behind it. Essentials of vegan labels indicate that the regulations offer direction when it comes to eateries putting their trust in vegan principles such as care and sustainability.
In Bihar, as in other regions, a Vegan Certificate serves several important purposes:
Most vegan products usually have a relatively lower environmental footprint as compared to products that come from animals. Certification provides assurance that a product’s attributes are genuine and provides credibility to those consumers who are concerned about the environment.
It provides consumers with information that a product is free from animal ingredients and has not been through animal testing.
From a business perspective, it also provides an opportunity for companies, who get a vegan certificate, to have their products be unique in the market aimed at one group of consumers, namely vegans who are conscious of ethical and environmental issues.
It is very useful when operating internationally due to the fact that it may be utilized to demonstrate compliance with import regulations in several countries where the specifications and definitions of vegan goods might differ.
Vegan certification supports practices that are otherwise ethical in its treatment and utilization of animals which include minimizing the use of animals in various industries to avoid their suffering.
The following is a guide that food businesses must follow in order to register their products for Vegan Certification in Bihar:
In order to obtain the Vegan approval, the food business operator (FBO) is supposed to submit the FSSAI application form along with the necessary papers and a statement confirming compliance with the mentioned standards.

The FSSAI may pay a visit, or conduct an on-site assessment of the manufacturing facility to confirm the claims of vegan
If the above application is approved then the FSSAI will issue an endorsement for the use of Vegan logo to the food business operator (FBO) to be placed on the packaging of the product.
The Vegan logo endorsement has to be renewed annually by the food business operator (FBO) from where it has been issued.

Obtain the application form from the FSSAI’s FLRS online module, and fill in the relevant details. The steps include completing the application form, providing paperwork that might be needed, paying a fee if it is required, and setting up an inspection. By the time all the criteria of the inspection are successfully complied with, the license will then be granted.
All enterprises having a turnover of Rs 12 lakh and below require only Basic Registration. If the turnover is between ₹12 lakh and ₹20 crore the trader needs a State License. For turnovers more than ₹20 crore, what is required is a Central Licence.
A vegan license is not required for a general grocery store even if it wants to be only a vegan store, the license is required only if it truly operates only in vegan goods. If the store desires to promote itself as vegan, then getting a vegan license can also play a part in gaining the customer’s trust as well as ensuring compliance.
Trading without a proper license to handle food attracts stiff penalties though there may be some exemptions in some places. The penalties extend to ₹5 lakh and the imprisonment may be inflicted in the severe circumstances. Historically, the severity of the penalty is proportional to the offense committed and potential risks for the population’s health.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
