FSSAI Vegan Registration is mandatory in Karnataka for the companies who are dealing with vegan products, as Karnataka Vegan Food Regulatory Act is quite rigid regarding food safety and labeling of vegan products. The process involves ensuring a person’s identity, address, and their Vegan declaration is submitted to FSSAI for approval in compliance with vegan laws. They are issued with a registration certificate upon approval for quality and safety conformity of the products to be imported. This certification increases consumers’ confidence, provides access to markets, and complies with the Karnataka state laws regarding food products.
Vegan food is a type of diet that is mostly based on vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, fruits, and other food products that are derived from plants, it does not contain any foods or products of animal origin such as meat, cheese, milk, yogurt, butter, eggs, and honey. They are a combination of fruits and vegetables, grian products, legumes, nuts, and seeds, which afford the food a wide range of taste sensation and mouthfeel. Some other aspects of vegan food include vegan dairy products like soy, nut or grain products to simulate real animal produce such as milk, cheese and meats. People who are willing to embrace veganism do so for reasons concerning health, moral issues on animals and concerns of the environment. This is in order to minimize the effects on food production as this has broader effects and involves issues such as Greenhouse gas emissions, land use and water consumed through animal farming.
Obtaining Vegan Certification in Karnataka offers several benefits tailored to the local market and regulatory environment:
Certification labels help consumers to see that a food product is vegan without necessarily analyzing the list of ingredients and processes used in producing those consumables.
An independent certification of products as vegan can provide competitive advantage on the market, putting businesses ahead of the competitors, which do not have such a certificate.
Consumers who are conscious with their diet and beliefs are more likely to buy or get a brand they support, usually vegan ones.
Vegan certification is well-known in the global market, which allows the companies that got the certificate to serve the vegan market across the borders.
Certification can improve the icon; give the brand new associations with the values such as sustainable, animal friendly and healthy.
The following is a guide that food businesses must follow in order to register their products for Vegan Certification in Karnataka:
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.
A confirmation of the approval would be given to the applicant from the FSSAI once they have completely assessed the application and the supporting documents, to make sure that the product meets the Vegan 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.

A Food Safety Officer has the responsibility of enforcing the food safety legal requirements; inspection; sampling and assessing the food hygiene standards in the food business. The former use the Food Safety and Standards Act to ensure the health of society and avoid cases of foodborne diseases, in addition to maintaining the right procedures in food processing and controlling the distribution of food.
No, the utilization of non-vegan cleaning agents in a vegan food facility is likely to result in cross contamination. This is particularly important so that vegan products should not be in any way contaminated with any materials that are derived from animals, hence the need to use only vegan cleaning agents to clean the products.
Security features relating to vegan supplements include FSSAI vegan logo, vegan supplements list of ingredients, nutritional value, manufacturers details, and the validity date. The labels should have a message indicating that the product is vegan and does not contain animal products for consumer’s awareness and accurate labeling in accordance with FSSAI regulation.
For reporting an FBO that does not conform to vegan standards, an option would be to contact FSSAI via the FSSAI website, through a phone call or an email. It is essential to give specific information on the violation such as product information, the manufacturer’s information and other supporting proofs. FSSAI will probe into the matter and off late action will be taken to eradicate the problem.

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 .
