Messes and hospital kitchens fall under FSSAI RUCO when they fry at scale. How to sell used cooking oil with public-sector paperwork.

Tender vs marketplace

Some campuses tender annual waste-oil contracts. Others need a repeating vendor. A marketplace RFQ can feed either model with written specs.

What auditors ask

Who took the oil, when, how many litres, which plant. Informal mess contractors rarely survive that question.

Storage on campus

Locked, labelled drums. No student-area access. No mixing with canteen drain waste.

List the mess oil

Post institutional UCO on BioTradX with the legal name on the FSSAI licence, not the hostel nickname.

Official sources

General information only, not legal advice. Confirm the current rule with the issuing authority.
