There will be different license issued under FSSAI as requirement of each product is different. So in the same premises if license is being taken for processing of meat, milk and fruits and vegetables, there will be a separate license as these will be done in separate portions and businesses are not connected and covered under separate categories. However, in case there is fruit and vegetable processing and godown / store along with it, since these are connected activities, one license is applicable.

Different license has to be taken for units with different premises address/different location.
