It is functional in all the states across the country and 70 lakh licenses/enlistments have been given till date while more than 40 lakh licensees/registrants are effectively executing transactions on it.
The announcement said,
“FSSAI is dispatching its cloud based, updated new food safety compliance online platform called FoSCoS, (URL: https://foscos.fssai.gov.in). It will supplant the current FLRS (URL https://foodlicensing.fssai.gov.in).”
