It becomes imperative for any company that deals with vegan food products to get FSSAI Vegan Registration in Kerala for the products since the state is very keen on the food safety compliance and correct labeling of vegan products. To complete it, one must submit several documents that include identification documents, residential proof, and a vegan declaration to FSSAI to assess the fulfillment of the vegan guidelines. On compliance, a registration certificate is issued to confirm quality and safety of the products to be registered. This increases consumer trust and helps find markets more easily; it also complies with Kerala’s rules of food safety.
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 Kerala 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 Kerala:
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.

Yes, FSSAI has recipes for the vegan products and it has laid down guidelines for the preparation of the vegan beverages in order to meet the vegan standards. These standards require that vegan drinks should not have any animal based ingredient and they should be produced, packaged and labeled to meet the vegan requirement.
No, in fact FSSAI regulations in terms of the packaging of the vegan products do not allow bulk packing of vegan products whether for wholesales or for anything. It is pertinent that the health and dietary concerns of consumers are met by explaining that the product is vegan, and listing down all the ingredients, among other necessary details.
To ensure packaging materials are vegan it involves checking with the suppliers to confirm that they do not use any animal product when developing their packaging materials. Seek documentation from the suppliers in which they state the products as vegan, or carry out your research in case the products are no longer vegan as may be required by the law.
The FSSAI Central Advisory Committee is involved in the formulation of standards, policies, and regulations in relation to food safety for the provision of the population with healthy food. They give direction on the actualization of food safety laws, participate in the making of new standards, and also make sure that the laws and regulations are efficient and relevant.

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 .
