What is FPO Mark Certification?

FPO stands for Food Products Order. The FPO Mark, also known as the Food Products Order Mark, is a certification mark issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). It indicates that a food product complies with the standards set forth in the Food Products Order (FPO), ensuring safety, quality, and adherence to regulatory requirements. It is a set of regulations established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, to govern the manufacture, distribution, sale, and import of food products in India.

The FPO mark certification is a mandatory requirement for food products in India, governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). It signifies that a food product complies with the standards set forth in the Food Products Order, ensuring safety, hygiene, and quality for consumers. Products bearing the FPO mark have undergone rigorous testing and inspection to meet regulatory requirements.
