Checking an FSSAI Licence on an A2 Ghee Label

By Faimly Farm · 23 October 2026 · Prepared with AI assistance.

Start with the licence or registration number printed on the actual pack, then use FSSAI's official verification service. Record what the result says and when you checked it. Keep that administrative check separate from evidence about the contents of a particular jar.

When buying an ingredient for a familiar family recipe, words such as A2 or bilona can draw attention before the small-print business details. Both deserve a careful reading, but they answer different questions.

Begin at the official service

FSSAI's licence-verification page describes the service as a way to check the authenticity and status of a licence or registration. Its digital-services directory also lists licence verification. Start there rather than assuming a search advertisement is the regulator's service.

1. Photograph the relevant label panel so the printed number and nearby business name are readable.
2. Enter the number carefully in the official verification facility, following its current prompts.
3. Compare the returned details with the label. Note any business name, address or status information actually shown; do not fill gaps with assumptions.
4. Save the result and the date of your check alongside the label photo.

If the details do not line up

First check for a copying error. If the pack names more than one business, read the role beside each name before comparing records. A manufacturer, packer and marketer are not automatically the same entity. Our guide to made, packed and marketed label roles explains the distinction.

If the result remains unclear, ask the seller for a legible label and an explanation of the exact discrepancy. Do not treat a failed lookup or an unavailable page as proof of either authenticity or fraud. Leave the question unresolved until you have a reliable answer.

Keep three questions separate

• Business record: what does the official licence or registration lookup return?
• Product claim: what evidence supports the stated milk source or production method?
• Specific batch: which batch does any supplied test report identify, and what did that report actually test?

This separation is an evidence-reading approach: a result answering the first question should not be stretched into an answer to the other two. In particular, do not describe a licence lookup as proof of a nutrition advantage.

For the A2 range discussed here, the matching catalogue item is Organica A2 Cow Ghee Bilona Churned. This article explains how to check records; it does not report a completed verification of an individual pack or licence.

Quick questions

Can I use a seller's old screenshot?

Use it as a lead, then check the official service yourself and record your own check date.

What if I cannot read the number?

Ask for a clearer image of the actual label. Guessing a digit can send you to an unrelated record.
