Registration can be done by food business operators on their own at Food Safety Information System of Malaysia website. Premise registration certificate can be printed out once the registration is completed. The certificate is valid for three (3) years from the date of issuance. Application for renewal can be made at least 30 days before the date of the certificate expiry via the same website.

Not registering food premises is an offense and it is compoundable under Food Hygiene Regulations 2009. Anyone who commits an offense shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding ten thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.

Therefore, food business operators need to ensure all their food premises are registered with MOH.

sekiranya sudah mempunyai sijil fosim tetapi terdapat penambahan premis di sebelah kilang perlukah pendaftaran baru atau hanya tambah alamat di sijil fosim sedia ada.

Salam sejahtera dan terima kasih di atas pertanyaan. Situasi puan agak spesifik oleh dan saya tidak dapat menjawab pertanyaan puan tanpa maklumat lain, contoh seperti sama ada premis tersebut adalah tambahan ruang kepada premis sedia ada atau penambahan bangunan untuk tujuan kegunaan yang lain. Puan boleh merujuk dengan Unit Keselamatan dan Kualiti Makanan di Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah yang berdekatan dengan puan untuk maklumat lanjut. Terima kasih.

Hi,Sekarang saya sedang sediakan untuk membuat homomade makanan untuk kanak – kanak online. Example kanak kanak punya sausage ,pau,pizza,fish ball ,mantao and lain lain makanan untuk kanak kanak start from 10 bulan ke atas. Semua makanan diperbuat oleh saya seorang.Selepas buat lepas itu packing,label dan deliver guna sejuk kereta untuk customer. Tetapi sekarang belum start business mungkin 2 bulan lepas baru siap semua preparation.

So,bila saya mahu start to apply the registration?
Sebelum start business atau selepas start business.

Ada apa qualification untuk itu registration?

Terima Kasih.

Salam sejahtera… Terima kasih di atas pertanyaan.

Anda boleh daftar premis makanan pada bila-bila masa sahaja. Tetapi memandangkan pendaftaran premis mempunyai tarikh sah laku dan anda masih belum lagi memulakan operasi, maka nasihat saya anda boleh daftar sebaik sahaja anda mulakan operasi. Pendaftaran premis makanan tidak tertakluk kepada proses kelulusan.

Sepanjang pengalaman Admin, sekiranya capaian internet baik dan semua softcopy dokumen yang diperlukan itu lengkap, maka tidak mustahil untuk selesaikan pendaftaran dalam masa kurang dari 30 minit (termasuk daftar akaun pengguna, daftar syarikat, daftar premis). Anda juga mungkin boleh buat pendaftaran akaun pengguna (wujudkan akaun pengguna) dan daftar syarikat dahulu dengan memasukkan maklumat syarikat ke dalam sistem buat masa ini dan hanya teruskan dengan langkah terakhir, iaitu pendaftaran premis makanan anda pada satu tarikh yang dekat dengan tarikh anda mula beroperasi.

Untuk daftar akaun pengguna di FoSIM, anda memerlukan nombor telefon bimbit (landline tak diterima) dan alamat emel yang sah. Pengaktifan akaun pengguna akan dihantar ke alamat emel yang dimasukkan dan pengguna perlu aktifkan akaun melalui emel pengesahan yang diterima.

Diharap perkongsian ini dapat membantu. Sekian.

how to apply this food premise license and what kind of document are need

winsynergy April 24, 2024 at 4:08 pm

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Firstly, it’s important to clarify that the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) requires food business operators to REGISTER their food premises, rather than obtaining a specific license. Regulation 3 of the Food Hygiene Regulations 2009 mandates the registration of all food premises in Malaysia. You can complete the registration process on MOH’s FoSIM (Food Safety Information System of Malaysia) website, which involves verification of provided information and documents. Once registered, you can print the registration certificate from the FoSIM website. The required document is the softcopy of the registrant’s identity card. The inclusion of the SSM certificate in softcopy is only necessary if you are registering your premise under a registered business or company. Local government licenses are optional.

Additionally, businesses operating within the jurisdiction of a local government, such as Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, may require a separate business license. You’ll need to visit your local authority office to inquire about specific license requirements and documents needed. It’s important to note that there are more than 150 local governments in Malaysia, and the specific requirements differ with each local government. The license application will undergo a review process, and approval depends on meeting all stipulated conditions and requirements.

winsynergy February 22, 2023 at 8:29 pm

Terima kasih di atas pertanyaan. Puan perlu log masuk semula ke Fosim utk pembaharuan. Sekiranya pendaftaran terdahulu dibuat sebelum fosim berpindah ke sistem baharu, puan perlu hubungi pejabat kesihatan daerah tempat puan untuk bantu puan reset ID pengguna dan kata laluan akaun Fosim.
