The problem
FSSAI does not give you one neat formulation table. Ingredient names, chemical forms, botanical preparations, quantities and conditions sit across different schedules.
You can find them yourself. But first you need to know which schedule to open, what wording to search, whether the form matters, and how the location should appear on the SOI.
What ₹399 gives you
Enter the proposed ingredient name and daily dose. The checker returns one structured, downloadable report.
Whether the entered ingredient has a match in the mapped FSSAI schedules.
The actual salts, forms, common names or preparations recorded for that match.
The prescribed quantity or range where the cited schedule provides one, with an exceedance flag when comparable.
The exact schedule location followed by FSS (Nutra) Reg.2022.
Where to look when a quantity is unavailable, an ingredient is missing or something appears wrong.
Why pay for the checker?
The regulations are public and linked below. You can perform the complete search yourself. The checker helps you find the relevant schedules, understand what they say, cite them correctly, identify what may have gone wrong and know where to look next.
Test different ingredients, forms and quantities as many times as you need while your formulation evolves.
Get clearly labelled practical notes for ingredients of interest, drawn from my own formulation journey and conversations with manufacturers, nutraceutical operators and pharmacists.
Submit questions about understanding or using the tool. Common questions will be answered in the weekly Stopgap__ newsletter.
If I don’t know the answer, I’ll speak to someone who does and share what I learn.*
Free resources are easy to save and forget. This is a small commitment to the business you keep saying you want to build.

Enter each ingredient and proposed daily quantity. The educational report shows the returned schedule match, listed forms, stated ranges where available and the relevant source location. It does not determine whether a product or formulation complies with applicable law.
Educational use only. This is not a compliance assessment, professional advice, certification or FSSAI approval.
The checker is designed to help founders prepare for conversations with manufacturers and qualified professionals. Results depend on the ingredient name, form and quantity entered and cover only the sources stated in the report. It does not complete product classification, ICMR/Codex RDA review, additive or excipient permissions, purity, safety, interactions, claims, labelling or licensing. A schedule match is not approval, and "Not found" does not mean prohibited. Independently verify all findings before making formulation, manufacturing, submission or commercial decisions.
Formulation privacy: Ingredient names and quantities are processed in this browser and are not saved to your Stopgap account or database. Account and payment records are stored separately. Reports downloaded to your device may contain confidential business information; store and share them accordingly.
