A food licence is mandatory for food manufacturers, food transporters, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, exporters, and any business dealing with food. It is forced by the government to get a food license. Food business operators who do not have a food licence may face a food safety officer's penalty or court action if they do not obtain a food license. Food licences are classified as state licenses, central licenses, and export licenses. A food license can be obtained for a period of 1 year up to 5 years.
