Vegan Certification in India: FSSAI Logo Rules

India is one of the few markets where vegan claims are regulated by statute. Under the Food Safety and Standards (Vegan Foods) Regulations, 2022, a food may only be sold as vegan with FSSAI's approval and its vegan logo. A third-party mark such as V-Cert Vegan adds independent, internationally readable verification on top of FSSAI compliance — it never replaces it.
