Food license

We are planning to start 2 shops in Pune.

1st is a Distributorship of Kissan Foods. In which we will be selling their Jams & Sauces to other shopkeepers.

2nd A General Store in which we will be keeping all stuff packed stuff including food products like these Jams & Sauces.

I want to know, do we need to obtain a Food License for either of these? If yes, what is the procedure, as we haven't yet rented a shop.

You need to have a trade license in the begining from the concerned authorities at Pune.

If it is a Shop then you need to comply with the Shops and Commercial Establishments Act.

you don't need 2 separate licence for shops. you just need 1 trade licence for that. beside you have to comply with shop and establishment act.

go to municipal corporation of your jurisdiction and ask for licence.

Gumatha , trade lisence is mandatory. perhaps food safety is no applicable to you.
