Start Your Food Business Legally with a Licensed Food Factory in Hong Kong
Starting a food business in Hong Kong? Whether you’re bottling sauces, crafting noodles, or preparing take-away meals, you’ll need more than just a great recipe — you need the right license. According to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD), anyone intending to manufacture or prepare food for sale off-premises must first obtain a valid Food Factory Licence.
At JF Kitchen, we simplify the process. Our fully licensed, ready-to-use commercial kitchen allows you to focus on your food while we handle the licensing complexities. Let’s dive into what you need to know.
What Is a Food Factory Licence?
A Food Factory Licence is a legal requirement for any individual or business that plans to produce, process, or package food for human consumption off-site in Hong Kong. Issued by the Licensing Authority under the FEHD, this licence ensures that your food production meets hygiene and safety standards.
Without this licence, your food business could face legal penalties, including closure and fines. But don’t worry — we’re here to help you navigate the process.
Who Needs a Food Factory Licence?
A wide range of food-related businesses in Hong Kong require a food factory licence. Below are some of the most common trades that fall under this regulation:
- Canning, bottling, or packaging food or beverage
- Producing sauces or condiments such as soy sauce, pickles, or gourmet powders
- Preserving food, including dried meat, sausages, lo mei, and preserved fruits
- Operating take-away food outlets or offering catering services
- Roasting meats or poultry
- Making confections and desserts
- Producing bean-based products, including tofu and fermented bean curd
- Crafting noodles, vermicelli, spaghetti, and similar items
- Manufacturing light refreshments like crisps, shrimp slices, or peanuts
- Preparing puddings and jellies
- Creating gluten-based vegetarian products
- Processing ready-to-eat items like fish balls, shrimp balls, and fried pig skin
- Bottling distilled water
If your business involves any of the above, you’ll need a valid food business licence.
