Food safety in Saudi Arabia

Food safety is closely regulated in Saudi Arabia by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), and the Kingdom imports a large share of its food. With a fast-growing hospitality, catering, and tourism sector under Vision 2030 – including the millions of pilgrims served during Hajj and Umrah – robust food safety management is essential. ISO 22000 gives food businesses an internationally recognized framework, and qualified lead auditors are key to building, auditing, and maintaining effective food safety systems across the supply chain.
