Do I require a licence to manufacture food for distribution? If yes, can I do it in a residential house?

Updated by SFA
Yes, a licence to operate a food processing establishment is required from SFA, for the manufacturing, processing, preparation or packing of foods for the purpose of distribution to wholesalers and retailers. The premises used for manufacturing, processing, preparation or packing of food for the purpose of distribution must be carried out in a properly designed and constructed food processing establishment equipped with all the necessary facilities. Use of residential house as a food processing establishment for manufacturing of food for distribution is not allowed.
