An investor in Thailand, who intends to open a catering business, needs to respect the provisions concerning the conditions and methods for the production of the food. You will need to train as well your employees so that they respect the imposed norms on the conditions of preservation, the approved tools and utensils which can be employed in the processing of food.
The main legal body which is responsible with quality control in Thailand is the Minister of Public Health. The types of activities implied in a catering business require the obtaining of a food license imposed by the state to Thai companies which wish to sell food products to the public. In order to apply for this license you need to provide the company registration documents of your business to the authority which deals with these issues – the Food and Drug Administration of Thailand (FDA). Our experts in company formation in Thailand can help you through the license obtaining procedure for your catering business.
