A new flavor for Saudi restaurant meals starting July 1

Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — In less than 10 days, the restaurant experience in Saudi Arabia will be completely different from what the diners have been used to for decades. Starting July 1, the new rules regulating restaurant meals are scheduled to take effect, in accordance with the Saudi Food Regulation Policy. The most notable changes will include a list of the menu's ingredients, including calories, details of its nutritional components, and a warning about any ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction in some diners. The new regulation will be implemented by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), which emphasizes the need to provide healthy and safe food options for families and diners of restaurants, especially given the large number of people who require meals that do not cause allergies. Starting July 1, restaurants will be required to change their menus to include a clear list of calories, fat and sugar content, sodium (salt) levels, and clear information about allergens. SFDA noted that food outlets will be mandated to display detailed nutritional information on their menus from this date. This includes placing a 'saltshaker' label next to meals high in sodium as a clear guide, disclosing the caffeine content of beverages, and indicating the estimated time required to burn off the calories from a meal. These requirements apply to all menus, whether physical or online, and extend to online food ordering platforms. A large segment of Saudi consumers have welcomed these new regulations, especially given the growing concern in the Kingdom about rising rates of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Displaying this information will enable diners to adequately protect their health. Restaurant and café owners have welcomed the new food regulations, to the point that some have even taken the initiative to choose food alternatives that are healthier for their customers. Through these initiatives, the SFDA aims to promote healthier food options, encourage a balanced lifestyle, and help consumers track their salt and caffeine intake in relation to approved health recommendations. The Saudi government is providing all possible assistance to owners of restaurants and cafés to navigate this phase and adapt to Saudi food regulations. The new regulations reflect the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goal of improving the quality of life for citizens.

SFDA suspends medical device imports from erring international firm

Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has suspended imports from an international medical device and supplies factory, as part of its ongoing regulatory efforts to verify the safety of products under its supervision circulating in the Saudi market. This import suspension decision followed an SFDA inspection tour that uncovered serious violations, according to a press statement from the authority on Thursday. These issues primarily centered on the factory's quality management system, manufacturing processes, factory work environment and deficiencies that could potentially lead to the contamination of medical devices. Violations related to quality management systems accounted for approximately 10 percent of all recorded violations at medical device factories in 2024. Meanwhile, violations concerning manufacturing processes and the work environment represented a significant 49 percent of the total. According to the statement, this action is one of several measures the SFDA takes when serious violations are found during inspections of facilities exporting medical devices to Saudi Arabia. The import suspension rate reached approximately 30 percent of all factories inspected in 2024. The factory is also registered with several international regulatory authorities, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union, and its products are marketed globally. This demonstrates the efficiency and precision of the SFDA's regulatory system, highlighting its strong capabilities in detecting significant violations and implementing necessary measures based on an inspection methodology that aligns with international best practices. The SFDA is committed to rigorous oversight of the imported medical device sector, ensuring that all products in circulation are safe and effective to protect public health and prevent the distribution of potentially harmful devices. It reaffirmed its dedication to implementing all necessary measures to uphold safety and quality standards in this vital sector.
